Gorby Gap

Gorby Gap is for quick simple checks before you drop in to some pow or a plate of nachos. There are amazing apps out there that go deep on mountain details in Whistler, this isn’t that. What you get: • Up-to-date weather for the mountain • Live lift status • Webcams from across the mountain • Light, Dark and Greyscale modes • Après snacks, drinks, & local restaurant options • No ads, no upsells, always free This app isn’t affiliated with Whistler Blackcomb or any other app - just made by a local who loves the mountain and snacks, with a healthy concern for overexposed foreheads.
