While on the surface, this luxury excursion from the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler seems amazing, the more you ponder it, the harder it gets to justify.
Visiting a glacier is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The act of visiting one from a premium, five star hotel, where the guest most certainly traveled first class, becomes an unsustainable prospect.
The private helicopter alone brings a carbon footprint that further endangers the glaciers themselves.
After a scenic journey by snowmobile or tracked machine, guests are eased into the experience with glacier-side massages, naturally, before proceeding into the ice cave itself for a tasting of Dom Pérignon and Kristal caviar, thoughtfully overseen by a personal attendant.
Weather permitting, this entirely reasonable four-hour affair accommodates up to four guests.
The most painful part of the experience may be the price, which costs $19,999 for four people, weather dependent.
What are your thoughts on such a luxurious, but divisive excursion?

Fantastic!!!
It’s revolting
Huge NO – our planet is too precious and its climate is so precarious to play around and indulge people. We have hurt this this beautiful planet enough already.
Absurd!
what risk ceiling caving in?
