Beatrice Cheese Rolling: August 14, 2010

Beatrice Cheese Rolling Returns to Whistler on August 14th, 2010 Strong, bold and a bit nutty, the Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival is all set to go at Whistler Blackcomb Mountain this summer. Canadian cheese rolling is a gentler version of the whacky UK tradition. On August 14th, contestants will run after a giant 11- pound wheel of Canadian cheese made by Natural Pastures of British Columbia.


Last year's event was such a success that Dairy Farmers of Canada is bringing back the crazy kookiness of Cheese Rolling for Canadian families to enjoy. Cheese-loving, adventurous Canadians will race down Blackcomb Mountain from noon to 4:00 p.m. after the coveted wheel of BC cheese in hopes of winning the title of Cheese Rolling Champion. Both the male and female winners get to keep the cheese wheel and a one-year Whistler Blackcomb ski pass.

Location: Blackcomb Mountain Base 2
Saturday, Aug 14th Noon to 4pm
