The Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival

Think you can roll with the Champs?

Congratulations to our winners Guy McLintock & Lorraine Phan; these two brave cheese lovers were able to say CHEESE ROLLING! They came out to enjoy a whole day of cheese events and each took home an 11-pound wheel of cheese, and two ski season passes each to Whistler Blackcomb.

Check out some past Cheese Rolling race winners to see if you have what it takes to be the Big Cheese on the hill this year.
