Hvad betyder det at være en phi beta sigma...?
Peak 2 Peak Gondola
Virkningen af et så dyrt projekt på priserne på liftkort har altid været et problem [hvem?], især fordi gondolen ikke ville åbne noget nyt skiterræn. Da projektet blev annonceret i 2005, blev beboerne lovet, at Peak 2 Peak-adgang ville være et valgfrit tillæg til en liftbillet eller et sæsonkort. På et åbent hus i 2005 anslog feriestedet, at den ekstra pris på et sæsonkort ville være 59 USD. På det tidspunkt forsøgte Whistler-Blackcomb at opnå en skattefritagelse fra Whistler Kommune for de øgede vurderinger, som de nye terminalbygninger ville medføre. Da priserne på sæsonkortet blev annonceret for Peak 2 Peak's åbningssæson i august 2008, var det kun tidlige fuglepas, der kunne fravælge Peak 2 Peak-optionen. Whistler-Blackcomb sagde, at det ikke var "specifikt" om Spirit Pass, da det havde sagt, at adgangen til Peak 2 Peak ville være valgfri.

The impact of such an expensive project on lift ticket prices was always a concern[who?], especially because the gondola would not open any new ski terrain. When the project was announced in 2005, residents were promised that Peak 2 Peak access would be an optional add-on to a lift ticket or season pass. In a 2005 open house, the resort estimated the additional cost on a season pass would be CDN $59. At the time, Whistler-Blackcomb was attempting to secure a tax exemption from the municipality of Whistler for the increased assessments caused by the new terminal buildings. When season pass prices were announced for the Peak 2 Peak’s inaugural season in August 2008, only early bird passes were allowed to decline the Peak 2 Peak option. Whistler-Blackcomb said it was "not specific" about the Spirit Pass when it had said the Peak 2 Peak access would be optional.
