TL;DR
Whistler Blackcomb is targeting this weekend for the reopening of Whistler Peak and the Peak Express chairlift, which were closed following a rockslide on March 12. Geotechnical experts have been on site assessing the area, though some terrain will remain off-limits.
Whistler Peak Is Targeting a Weekend Reopening After a Rockslide Shut Down the Summit
Whistler Blackcomb has set its sights on reopening Whistler Peak and the Peak Express chairlift this weekend, following a rockslide that forced the closure of the summit area on March 12. The resort's Vice President of Mountain Operations, Brian Suhadolc, issued a statement confirming the timeline and outlining what riders can expect when access returns.
What Happened on March 12
A rockslide occurred in the early hours of March 12, near Whistler Peak. Out of caution, the resort closed both Whistler Peak and the Peak Express chairlift while geotechnical experts were brought in to assess the affected area.
It's a reasonable call - Whistler isn't a small suburban ski hill, and that kind of terrain warrants a thorough look before you start sending skiers and riders back through it.
