ICE CAVE DINING IN WHISTLER
For a twist on a winter wonderland, gift someone a dining experience in an ice cave. The Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler and Head-Line Mountain Holidays have teamed up to create a culinary experience in an ice cave dubbed ‘The Blue Room’.

Kick off the adventure with a helicopter ride to Canada’s largest, southernmost ice field, where wilderness experts will offer insight about the terrain. Inside the ice cave’s grand hall, guests will sip Champagne before tucking into a five-course menu that includes pumpkin-and-truffle soup and grilled long-bone rib-eye. The experience is weather- dependent, and prices start at $20,000 CAD for two adults, or $14,193 US.
