Peak2PeakOn Sunday March 30, 2009 Whistler’s Peak 2 Peak Gondola had to be shut down after a “drive motor on the on the new conveyance’s acceleration/deceleration mechanism malfunctioned,” according to a story in The Question.

No guests were in danger either during or after the shutdown, which occurred on Sunday at 12:46 p.m. and last 19 minutes, WB communications officer Amber Turnau said on Monday (March 30). Guests inside the sky cabins at the time were kept abreast of the situation by intercom, she said.

Sounds like someone got a 19 minutes thrill view of Whistler Blackcomb that they won’t soon forget. And we’re still not riding that beast.
