Learn more about CMH Heli-skiing in British Columbia.
CMH is bringing a little Canada, and plenty of ski stoke, to the Bay Area this October, with two evenings to join us for an inside look at CMH Heli-Skiing.
CMH Guide Paul Vidalin, an internationally certified ACMG/IFMGA Mountain Guide with 28 years at CMH and current President of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides will share stories from the mountains, answer your heli-skiing questions and offer an inside perspective on the CMH experience. We’ll also be showcasing our immersive VR heli-ski experience, the next best thing to flying into Canada’s legendary backcountry.
Choose the evening that works best for you; RSVP is required.
Whether you’re an experienced heli-skier, thinking about trying it for the first time, or simply love skiing and the mountains, we’d love to have you join us.
Plus, attendees can enter for a chance to win a 5-day trip for two to CMH Cariboos, valued at approximately $17,000 CAD.
