Is heki-skiing & snowboarding untracked powder on your bucket list?
Please join CMH California Rep, Anne Trott, and Guide & Assistant Area Manager of the CMH Gothics, Pete Murray, to celebrate the approach of ski season with some powder skiing stoke.
If you’ve always wanted to learn about heli-skiing, now’s your opportunity. Pete has a long history guiding for CMH and will be available to answer your questions. You’ll also have the chance to view the first-ever, high-definition, virtual reality heli-ski experience on the latest Meta Quest 2 goggles.

CMH Heli-skiing and Summer Adventures has been safely guiding guests through life-changing experiences in the mountains for over 55 years. With 11 lodges located throughout British Columbia, winter trips range from Powder Intros for first time heli-skiers to expert, steep terrain for the experienced adventurers.

CMH Heli-Skiing and Summer Adventures
‘CMH Heli-Skiing: 50 Years’
Celebrating 50 years, the worldâs largest skiable terrain and over 12 metres of annual snowfall, CMH Heli-Skiing is truly one of lifeâs ultimate experiences.
WHY CMH Heli-skiing?
SAFELY LEADING THE WAY FOR 50+ YEARS
Over 50 years of experience has put us at the forefront of industry-leading snow safety and helicopter practices. From our 130 strong team of highly-qualified ACMG and IFMGA guides to our dedicated helicopter pilots; safety is the foundation from which CMH is built.
PIONEERS & INDUSTRY LEADERS
Our founder Hans Gmoser not only invented heli-skiing, but he pioneered the entire experience you enjoy here today. We remain the oldest and largest Heli-Skiing operation in the world, offering massive terrain, untouched snow and leading standards to guests from across the world.
LIMITLESS AWESOME
BEING FIRST HAS ITS ADVANTAGES
Being the first in our field means we had the best pick of skiable areas in the worldâs best regions of snow. Today, this amounts to a private claim to a massive 3,000,000-acres of terrain, creating an experience that isnât replicated anywhere else. This is winter at its best.
BACKCOUNTRY LUXURY
STUNNING VIEWS & GOURMET FOOD
Your best ski days pair well with gourmet food. Our dining is almost as famous as our skiing. With a dedicated team of 44 chefs crafting individual menus for each lodge, every meal is an opportunity to celebrate.
YOUR BEST SKI DAYS ARE WAITING
Here at CMH, youâll ski or ride in personalized groups of 11 people or less while exploring at least 400 square miles (1,000 square kilometers) of pristine terrain per lodge. Thereâs nothing else like it.
If you can’t participate in the above VR event but would like to learn more about CMH? Please email Anne Trott at for upcoming CMH heli-ski trips or any questions you may have. Remember to mention you say this on SnowPals đ for special VIP service.

Why it's best to ski, ride on weekdays?
(1) Powder days usually happened when we least expect it: on weekdays đ
(2) Tahoe resorts on weekdays: practically empty slopes – you have the entire mountain to yourself
(3) Services such as eateries and ski/snowboard lessons are more enjoyable/less rush/less crowded (which means you get a semi-private lesson for the cost of a group lesson since there are less sign-ups on weekdays) and quality of service is much better
(4) No waiting in line to get on the lifts and no waiting in line for lunch or drinks
(5) Resort parking is a breeze; no road traffic on weekdays
