Whistler’s Ride of Your Life competition to see who will be the first to ride their new Peak 2 Peak gondola has one winner so far: 90-year-old George Huxtable says he “can’t wait to ride the new Peak 2 Peak Gondola” according to a story on Canada.com.
“I haven’t stopped jumping up and down since I heard,” said Huxtable, who rarely misses a day of the skiing season. “I have skied since I was four years old and I have been on every contraption that man has invented to go up the mountains easily and then fall down.”
There is room for 19 more for that first ride into the abyss. For nomination forms and contest rules go to www.whistlerblackcomb.com/gondola. Us, we’re staying on the ground. They say it’s totally safe, but we’re not interested in it being the last ride of our life. George, on the other hand, seems to have no problem with that possibility.
