Guests first check in at the station set-up on the steps by the Excalibur Gondola in Whistler’s main village, where they’ll be guided through a brief safety training.
Then, they’ll head to the base of Blackcomb where they’ll be fitted for their harnesses and helmets, before proceeding to the zip line’s launch area.
