The Fairmont Banff Springs To Get Celeb-Wattage at Their Sports Invitational

Where: 405 Spray Ave, Banff, AB, Canada, T0L0C0

The Fairmont Banff Springs is hosting a Sports Invitational from January 17-20th and a handful of famous Canadians and non-Canadians will be on hand to participate.

The event, which supports Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Waterkeeper Alliance will be co-hosted by Kennedy, Tim Robbins, Christie Brinkley, Alec Baldwin, and Pierce Brosnan. Also on hand will be Jason Priestly, Darryl Hannah, Josie Bissett, Kelsey Grammer and Leslie Nielsen.

Over two days, the celebs will participate in traditional winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, toboggan, cross-country skiing and dual giant slalom races at the Sunshine Village Ski & Snowboard Resort. The made-for-TV event is open to anyone who can purchase a lift ticket.

But if you want to get closer to Jason Priestly (who doesn't? Wait, what? It's not 1992 anymore?), you can purchase a ticket to the Gala to be hosted at the hotel on the last night of the event. Tickets start at $500 CDN per person. The chance to sit with Jason Priestly? Priceless. Or not. A gold table at the gala is going for $10,000 which doesn't actually get you a gold table but rather, tickets for eight guests and the chance to sit with a celebrity and their companion. Call the hotel at (403) 760-1400 if you're interested.
