ZipTrek

This is Sarah zipping upside-down across the creek between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. The ZipTrek company has built treehouses in the old-growth rainforest that sits between the two mountains. They run tours in which you go from treehouse to treehouse by crossing zip lines. The lines are 400 - 1000 ft in length and 50 - 150 ft above the creek. Although I was nervous about the trek (so much so that I didn't sign up until we got there and only got to go because Cari wanted to hang with her friends in the Village), the motion was more across than down, which is what I was worried about. In fact, on all except the last line, most of us had to stay balled up as we crossed so that we wouldn't get stuck on the line. The last one is a bit steeper, so they taught everyone how to go across upside-down. Everyone tried it but me. I did let go of the harness and lie on my back, though.
