Door to gondola about 10 minutes. I could walk if I felt like it but that's annoying in ski boots and carrying my gear. It took less time to get home because there was a ski-out really close to where I lived.

About an hour an a half to Whistler/Blackcomb from my door, maybe a little less without construction and traffic. When the highway is finished, will probably be about an hour.
