I’ve been invited to spend Pesach 2017 with Pesach on the Mountain at the Four Seasons in beautiful Whistler, BC.
I’ve been hearing wonderful things about Schneur Wineberg’s Pesach on the Mountain program for years. People that have attended have raved about everything from the incredible food, to the lectures and entertainment, from the skiing to the kids camp. While on 20 hour jaunt to NY last week I bumped into one attendee who confessed to me that she felt like a bad mother when her kids never wanted to leave the camp!
My wife and I took a quick 44 hour trip to Vancouver in August (I’m a sucker for that trip when Cathay opens up First class award space from JFK-YVR. I did it in 2012 for exactly zero miles plus tax round-trip, though this time I actually had to redeem the miles 😉 ) and we managed to bump into Schneur at several of Vancouver’s kosher eateries. He gave us great activity suggestions while we talked points and miles. Of course that led to discussion about his world class Pesach program and I’m thrilled to be able to attend it for Pesach 2017.
The in-house dairy restaurant with food prepared by the Four Seasons’ executive chef:
In 2014, I attended the Smilow’s Pesach program in Weston, FL. There I was able to talk points and miles in an intimate setting where I could give presentations and one-on-one suggestions in a way that is impossible in a 600 person large scale seminar. I’m looking forward to being able to do that once again in Whistler.
Pesach on the Mountain will offer an even more intimate experience than in 2014 as they only host 400 total guests at the fully OK Kosher for Pesach resort, the only AAA 5 diamond hotel in Whistler.
All meat is Glatt kosher, all dairy is Cholov Yisroel, and the program is fully non-gebroktz.
The program sweats the fine details, even the Nespresso machines in each room are kashered for Pesach and replenished daily with kosher for Pesach coffee pods!
Whistler offers a plethora of activities including golf, mountain biking, hiking, snow-mobiling, zip-lining, fishing, canoeing, riding on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, and shopping in the European-style village.
But it’s most famous for some of the best skiing on the continent with options that run the gamut from beginner to double black diamond on its majestic mountains. Both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains are open for Skiing in April with slopes for all skill levels.
Whistler is a 90 minute drive from Vancouver along the stunning Sea to Sky highway, which is an attraction unto itself:

You may see a lot more of your readers if we can pay with points.
@Jeremy:
That can be arranged I’m sure.
Any idea on the value of the points in these transactions? is it a bad rate?
Lucky You
Went to this program when they were in Nita lake lodge. Had a great time. Wish they would have stayed with non gebrokts.
Wish they would have stayed non gebrokts like when they first
Opened. Would have loved to go back
@Anonymous:
@Abe:
They are 100% non-gebrokts.
Can I pay with chase points?
@lauren:
I’d assume that can be arranged. Start by emailing them.
Sounds like you are taking your talents to the mountain!
@Js:
To all new heights 😀
look forward to seeing you there!
Need a violin kumzits style player.. amateur?
What is the cost?
Does anyone know what type of crowd attends this program. Is it a Modern Orthodox crowd ? I’m looking for a crowd similar to the summer KMR crowd…. a handful of open minded black hat yeshiva guys….
Usually you post Dan’s Deals. This however seems like a deal for Dan. Lucky you!
Spent Pesach in Whistler when KMR hosted a program at the Four Seasons. Skiing was incredible and the hotel was beautiful!
You forgot to mention it boasts the best Bobsled and Skeleton track in the world, a favorite of the Israeli team 😎
How many Chase / Amex points per person for this?
i wouldnt think you could use points on this program since Schneur Wineberg runs it and not The 4 Seasons
What’s the hashgacha?
How much is this? I went to their winter ski program and it was nice but way overpriced…
Is this program only for Jewish patronizing? My grandma was Jewish will that help??
@dan I’ve searched their website up and down, went through their brochure and searched all their social media; I can’t find any mention of the gebrokts status. Perhaps you can reconfirm with them and mention that it isn’t at all clear from their media that they are/aren’t gebrokts?
p.s. if you do happen to find/get something in writing from them regarding the gebrokts status, can you link to it here?
@mogro17: @David: The hashgacha is under OK Kosher.
The program is non-gebrokts, please feel free to call us at 1-855-737-2247 for more information.
