===Intrawest buys Blackcomb===
[[File:Blackcomb panorama from whistler mountain.jpg|right|thumb|600 px|Blackcomb Mountain, as seen looking north from Whistler Mountain. The trails served by Seventh Heaven are seen face-on just right of mid-frame, the upper half of these trails are not obvious in the large "bowl" along the top of the peak. The majority of Blackcomb's trails run down the slope to the left, and are not easily visible in this picture.]]

In 1986, Blackcomb's assets and real estate rights were bought by fledgling real estate developer [[Intrawest]]. Intrawest was an early developer of [[timeshare]] listings, and saw the potential in developing the ski resort with [[Condominium (living space)|condominium]] assets as a timeshare destination.<ref name=inter>''Intrawest''</ref>

Intrawest immediately carried out massive upgrades on Blackcomb. They started by moving the Seventh Heaven T-Bar across the ridge to the Horstman Glacier, still running up to the peak, and supplemented it with the Showcase T-Bar to service Blackcomb Glacier. [[Doppelmayr (North America)|Doppelmayr]] replaced Seventh Heaven in its original alignment with a [[high-speed quad chairlift]], and built two additional high-speed quads, Wizard and Solar Coaster, which cut the ride time from the base area to Rendezvous from 45 minutes to 15. The Rendezvous Restaurant was renamed Base 2 and the moniker moved to the restaurant at the top of Solar Coaster and Catskinner.
