With the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola Sky Cabins strung on the line and safely travelling across the 4.4km span between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains the work of load testing has begun.  From the beginning of Oct through to the end of the month Sky Cabins will be loaded with weight to simulate full passenger capacity.
