Video: Illegal BASE Jump Out of Peak To Peak Gondola Keep Whistler RCMP Busy

Last week rumours starting circulating about someone jumping out of the gondola between Whistler and Blackcomb – which is super illegal! – and now buddy just posted the video! Check er' out above.

This is the illegal version of the WB endorsed jump that Shane McConkey and some others pulled when the Peak to Peak Gondola was first opened. As badass as it is, the move to post a video with a faceshot of the jumper is a bit questionable. According to reports, the female in the video has already been "questioned by mountain staff on Blackcomb and escorted to the valley" and the RCMP and the mountain are on the hunt for him already. Turns out he damaged at least three gondolas trying to pry open the doors, something being peggesd at $10,000 worth of damage. Guess that chance at his 15-minutes was just too much to pass up!

"Whistler RCMP is investigating the vandalism of a Peak 2 Peak gondola cabin after a BASE jumper forced open the doors and leapt from approximately 436 metres to the Fitzsimmons Creek below. As a result, Whistler Blackcomb is considering additional security measures on gondola cabins.

It is believed the man landed safely.
When asked about the alleged incident, RCMP Staff Sgt. Steve LeClair would only say that police are investigating a serious mischief complaint from Feb. 6 in relation to some Whistler Blackcomb property. The Peak 2 Peak is owned and operated by Whistler Blackcomb.
RCMP and a Whistler Blackcomb patroller travelled to the landing zone in an effort to arrest the suspect but he was not apprehended despite an extensive search, Whistler Blackcomb said.

"It has been confirmed the doors and the opening and locking system of the cabin had been damaged," read a Whistler Blackcomb release. "Safety systems prevent the doors from opening on their own. Brute force and mechanical advantage was used to open the doors while the gondola was in motion.""
