You Can Now Access An ATM While Skiing

Have you ever fell short of cash while skiing? Whistler Blackcomb mountain resort has come up with a solution – a mountain-top ski-thru ATM.

As part of a five-year partnership with Whistler Blackomb, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (USA) CM has opened the mountain-top ski-thru ATM outside the Roundhouse Lodge on Whistler Mountain. The ATM stands at 8.5 feet high, weighs 4676 pounds and is located 1,850m (6,069ft) above sea level.

The new stand-alone ATM, which has ski pole and glove holders and heating lamps, allows skiers easy access to cash to buy at certain cash-only vendors before journeying back down the slopes.

CIBC is also offering whistles, tissues and hand warmers as part of Whistler Blackcomb's free mountain orientation tours.

CIBC's ski-thru ATM will be active throughout the 2017 ski season.

Whistler Blackcomb is situated in the Resort Municipality of Whistler located in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia 125 kilometres (78 miles) from Vancouver, British Columbia.
