2019 Season - E07- The Sea to Sky Highway

[@mrbilal1987]

Oh how I miss this drive -- the landscapes, the snowcapped mountains and everything so green. I remember when they were working on the road.

[@masca66]

Beautifull places and good video.

[@scottn1956]

I just drove this last week to ski Whistler for the day, but it was dark both ways. Thanks Phil , I can see what I missed!

[@coaster6777]

This highway is specially really beautiful, as the landscape along the sound looks very impressive. I bet that road was pretty expensive. Greetings from Germany.

[@onunkwodumebi1211]

I love watching ur videos each has its own uniqueness

[@ydieuju]

Excellent video, excellent music choices. :-)

[@KCWanderlust]

Absolutely gorgeous drive, Phil. I'll be watching this video again & again!

[@TransCanadaPhil]

I've got it going the other way too, so hopefully I'll release that one in the not too distant future.

[@ludwincr]

What a beautiful scenery, i'm from Guatemala and love your videos from Canada.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

ludwincr Thanks for visiting! Do you have any road videos yourself of the roads in Guatemala?

[@ludwincr]

@@TransCanadaPhil Sorry for my late answer, but i don't have any, but i can start filming. What basic equipment do i need?

[@PopLightBrown]

Simply stunning. That's a beautiful landscape there. Great job with this video!

[@TransCanadaPhil]

PelicanGuy Thanks!

[@MrSniperFromMars]

Amazing scenery and production. Thank you for sharing.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

(MrSniper)+ From Mars! This one had been on my radar for so long, just glad to finally get it out there!

[@EuropeanRoads]

10:55 I can't believe this is still common practice in North America. The shoulder is not a safe space to pull someone over and have a chat. In Europe they usually put up a 'follow police' sign and they take you to the nearest exit or rest area. The chance of getting struck by distracted drivers is just too great.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

European Roads yeah its pretty common here, they don't seem to worry too much about it. I know over in Europe it's a big concern because I watch that BBC show on the A1 "Britain's Longest Road", and the cops are always saying that too!

[@canadiandriverjez3965]

Yes finally! another video, I’m getting my snacks ready and I’m going to enjoy this ride along. Keep em’ coming Phil!

[@TransCanadaPhil]

CanadianDriver JEZ Thanks, there will be a part 2 of this up to Whistler, plus I've got footage of it the other way too (recorded later that day in the afternoon).

[@hd365expytb2]

HD quality footage of this highway is finally available on KZbin (old ones are all sort of low quality and don't have well-drawn signs).

[@TransCanadaPhil]

daily-explorer-ah For some reason KZbin compression on this one is a bit more severe than I would have liked, it's a bit softer than usual. I kept reuploading my master copy hoping to get a sharper image (the master file from my editor is sharper), but youtube seems to do bad things when there's lots of trees near the road.

[@socarboy]

Simply a beautiful drive...nice job!

[@TransCanadaPhil]

socarboy Thanks Scott, I'm just glad I went early in the morning, I saw that the highway was jam packed on the way back going the other way a few hours later.

[@rudysimmonds3252]

Gondola ride? snow capped peaks?? That gave me the chills ! Beautiful scenery !

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

This is a road that I would love to drive. Nice work.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Asphalt Planet It was one I had on my list for while!

[@davidborrink137]

I was hoping to find this one as I've seen the scene on your opening title sequence in a few of your other videos. Great ride. Wow.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

yes i loved doing this drive so much I used the footage for my intro.

[@FreewayFranks]

That was stunning.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Freeway Franks Thanks Francis, this one was fun to drive with such a fantastic body of water on my left.

[@cbroads9951]

Like the new opening and another great video Phil. The gondola footage was awesome

[@TransCanadaPhil]

CB Roads That was a fun little attraction but kind of expensive (but still worth it! IMHO)! 😁

[@yobb1n544]

Great video and I love that gondola. Shame what's happened to it.

[@onunkwodumebi1211]

British Columbia has a lot of natural wonders and also has one of the best highways in the world to my opinion

[@EuropeanRoads]

What a great ride! The scenery reminds me a lot of Norway, except that Norway doesn't have high-speed roads like this along the fjords.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

European Roads Before the 2010 winter olympics this road was more like that. BTW, I'm in your neck of the woods right now (staying at a hostel in Amsterdam right now), I'll be heading to Germany tommorow morning!

[@JamieStevens-h3k]

takes me back to my home town squamish

[@nbrowser]

I've driven this road a lot...love it every time...heads up...do highway 99 from Whistler to Cache Creek (aka the Duffey Lake Road etc.) it's absolutely SPECTACULAR!

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Kenneth James Yes, there will be a part 2 of this, heading further! 😁

[@juststuff5216]

11:31 - I like how you think that the stretch of road is narrow. Compared to some some of the 'Main' roads near me, you could land a jumbo jet on that road. But as always, still lovin' your videos!

[@hehe4life957]

Amazing video and loving the editing subbed :)

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Thanks, I'm on a bit of a hiatus but I'll be releasing new videos shortly.

[@BrandonClaridge]

The BC Coast has to be one of the prettiest parts of Canada, with beautiful mountains, towering trees, scenic fjords, not to mention Canada's mildest climate. The Rocky Mountains do give the BC Coast some considerable competition for the title of Canada's best scenery, however.

[@adepashby7759]

Fantastic, One of my favourite drives ever. Have you ever driven highway 99 right through whistler and up the Duffey lake road to Lillooet? It is truly spectacular

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Ade Pashby no I just went up to Whistler! I'll have to do the rest some day

[@iamsam10001]

Drove here before! Amazing scenery but unfortunately the highway was jam packed.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Rick Ghosh yeah it was jam packed on my way back a few hours later when I looked on the other side of the road (you'll eventually see that one too going the other way). So it was a good thing I woke up so early to record this. This was recorded around 6:30am on a Saturday morning.

[@ogmios2575]

Even if there was ever a proposal to connect Alaska with the rest of the United States which the Canadian government, British Columbia, and Yukon Territory to say extend Interstate 5 into BC connecting either to Juneau or the main section of Alaska further to the north which would include Yukon Territory I can imagine such a project with US funding included being a rather expensive undertaking for all parties involved. It get me to think if even such a project of a full freeway would be possible. Keep in mind freeway does not have to be divided, all it needs to do is look one on single carriage similar to say highway 107 in Nova Scotia, AKA a controlled access expressway or Super Two.

[@marcusmalm6621]

did you take high school photography cuz you are good!!!!!!!!

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Marcus Malm Nope, but I took Broadcasting in high school! (yes my high school had such a thing).

[@pointlesssentience3987]

Isn’t that the bridge from final destination near the beginning?

[@VGNtheunwise]

yeah it was the opening disaster of the 5th one

[@ericli6339]

I'm planning on a trip to Whistler Stables this Sunday and I was wondering if N drivers are allowed to drive on Sea to Sky. Are there any tips to not get dizzy, my friends said they're dizzy when they stared at the concrete barriers.

[@longwitt]

Those Squamish words!How do you get your tongue around them!!!

[@TransCanadaPhil]

longwitt I have no clue how to pronounce them!

[@coaster6777]

How about asking a Squamish to pronounce that. :D

[@thewheatgreatness]

You went to the gondola on May 18th. If you went just three months later, you would be unlucky.

[@TransCanadaPhil]

Hariesh Pahirathan You are right. Unfortunately I heard the gondola line was vandalized and someone actually cut the line. 😩
