WHISTLER, BC — The Sasquatch Zipline Tour in Whistler is the zipline adventure you can't miss this summer. Extreme Jose is ready to accept the challenge and ride the line.
"So it's 7,000 feet across, a 45-degree angle, and roughly about 600 feet up above the creek in the middle," said Zipline instructor Natalie Cobby.
GoPros are provided for guests that want to film themselves ziplining across, which makes for some pretty entertaining footage.
"The average speed is about 60 mph. That's sort of your start off mark, then you can go faster than that, even for seasoned veterans who have done skydiving and bungee jumping before, this one still sets it apart a little bit."
They offer two different options to get to the top. You can choose between the van ride up, which is a little bit less expensive, or if you want a full Whistler experience you can opt for the Peaked Peak. With the Peaked Peak, you get a little more time to think about what you've signed up for because it takes roughly about an hour and a half to complete the full journey.
"Safety wise you're in a 5-point harness, two shoulder straps, a sternum strap, and you have a waistband which is what stenches you in there and then of course leg loops."
You might feel a bit anxious when you first get attached for the ride because you're looking directly down. Natalie assures this is normal, "I still get a little bit nervous and I've zipped over a million times."
The entire ride takes about a minute and a half from start to finish.
