A video recap of our 2020 event!
June 25, 2016
The Whistler Blackcomb Foundation and The Bearfoot Bistro have joined forces to create the most imaginative and memorable fundraising event Whistler has ever hosted. An event so striking in its ambition, it is destined to bring international attention.
A MAGICAL FINE DINING EXPERIENCE FOR A GREAT CAUSE
The price per gondola is $8,500 (all inclusive) and includes an invitation to the pre-dinner cocktail reception, the six-course dinner, with wine pairing served on the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola and the post-dinner party at the Bearfoot Bistro for up to 10 guests. Your private gondola will host up to 10 guests. A tax receipt for the maximum allowable amount will be issued to you based on current Canada Revenue (CRA) standards.
Contact mmadden@whistlerblackcombfoundation.com to reserve your gondola!
THE HEIGHT OF FINE DINING
Imagine a six-course tasting menu from the Bearfoot Bistro served in your private gondola cabin on Whistler Blackcomb’s iconic PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola at an altitude of 424 metres. Whistler’s premier fine dining restaurant and host André Saint-Jacques set the stage for a magical dining experience to be shared amongst colleagues, friends and family. And all in aid of a most-deserving cause. As one of the top names in Canadian cuisine, highly-acclaimed Executive Chef Melissa Craig will create an unforgettable culinary adventure, paired with the finest wines. Dinner will be preceded by a cocktail reception at the top of the mountain and followed by a party in the valley.
