Gloria is on top of the world

Today, along with the normal bike park riding, we did the Top of the World Ride. Talk about epic riding, like alpine hiking on steroids! Rough and rocky trail but stunning views!

This involved 3 chairlift rides to the top of Whistler Mountain at 2182m, followed by 1507m of vertical drop as we rode back down to the village. It took us 2 1/2 hours to do, mostly because we kept stopping to admire the views, but it was a long trail and we did get a little lost lower down on the hill, below the alpine area.
