CMH Adamants

CMH Adamants
About 350 kilometres west of Banff, Adamant Lodge is spectacularly situated at the confluence of four major alpine valleys. It’s named for a majestic collection of diamond-hard peaks, a subrange of the Selkirks, where we do all our Adamants based Heli-Skiing. The Selkirks are famed for long glaciers, deep valleys, and rugged vistas. Their excellent tree skiing and huge, open glacier terrain make the Adamants one of our most popular areas.

CMH Bobbie Burns

CMH Bobbie Burns
Bobbie Burns is one of the only lodges that accesses skiing in both the Purcell and Selkirk Mountains. Suitable only for physically fit, well-experienced skiers who enjoy a faster pace, it offers a rich selection of runs in the trees and in high, glaciated terrain. Its 33 guests are divided into a maximum of 3 groups of 11 skiers each (normally we have 4 groups of 11), allowing us to fly further afield for more time on the slopes. The area’s many valleys enfold various micro-climates, allowing for good skiing in virtually all conditions. Bobbie Burns offers some of the finest Heli-Skiing anywhere in our mountains, which is another way of saying anywhere on earth.

CMH Bugaboos

CMH Bugaboos
In 1965, CMH inaugurated Heli-Skiing in the spectacular granite spires of the Bugaboo Mountains. The Bugaboos is our most established area, offering an immense variety of runs, both above and below tree line. As one Heli-Skier wrote, “Having this terrain all to ourselves is like having a private Zermatt or Chamonix.” Skiing on glaciers surrounded by massive monoliths is an indelibly intense and heart-spinning experience. And our magnificently sited, recently renovated Bugaboo Lodge is still the only base for skiing in these world famous peaks.

CMH Cariboos

CMH Cariboos
Cariboo Lodge is the finest mountain lodge of its kind in the entire Cariboo Range, a legendary old gold rush area of high, north-facing glaciers; wide, endless alpine runs, and good tree skiing in breathtaking surroundings. With access to the consistently high snowfall of the North Thompson Valley, the Cariboos offer terrific, high-quality Heli-Skiing until very late in the season.

CMH Galena

CMH Galena
Galena Lodge is located in a wild and remote setting surrounded by some of the most varied and challenging tree skiing CMH offers. All our Galena skiing is done in the Badshot Range of the Selkirks, known for its abundant snow, rugged beauty, and quality skiing. Three major valleys converge close to the lodge, providing access to skiable areas in most types of weather. Galena is for stronger, aggressive skiers only, and shouldn’t be considered by first time Heli-Skiers.

CMH Gothics

CMH Gothics
Located in the Goldstream River Valley in the Northern Selkirks, Gothics Lodge is named after a group of granite mountains whose steeple-like spires are reminiscent of Gothic cathedrals. Gothics accesses both the Northern Selkirks and the Monashees, and boasts an excellent variety of terrain, from a rich palette of tree skiing to open glacier skiing.

CMH Kootenay

Kootenay
CMH Kootenay is based in the delightful British Columbia village of Nakusp, on the shores of Upper Arrow Lake, a convenient drive for people coming from Western Canada and the northwestern United States. Our Heli-Skiing out of Kootenay is in two ranges, the Selkirks and the Monashees. Most of its runs weave in and out of old growth forests blessed with abundant snow. We access our ski areas from several staging points; vans are used to transport groups to the helicopters. The skiing is demanding at Kootenay and is for stronger, aggressive skiers only. Skiers should be physically fit and prepared to spend the whole day in the mountains, as the chance to fl y back to the lodge during the day is rare.

CMH McBride

McBride
McBride, CMH’s largest area, is located in the vast and wild northern Cariboos. Its rugged, steep terrain, huge glaciated plateaus, and mature, well-spaced forests offer a magnifi cent range of skiing opportunities. Impressive views of the Cariboos’ spiky Premier Range and the Rockies’ monarch, Mount Robson, dominate the area.

CMH Monashees

CMH Monashees
The Monashees present perhaps the most challenging skiing of any of our areas and are suitable only for experienced CMH Heli-Skiers who normally ski in the fastest group in other CMH areas. Between 60 and 90 percent of Monashees skiing is in a mature, naturally well-spaced forest. Along with some of the best tree skiing on earth, the Monashees is also admired for its long, consistently steep-pitched runs.

CMH Revelstoke

Revelstoke
With access to both the Monashees and the Selkirks, Revelstoke is defined by deep snow, big, open alpine and glacier terrain, and tree skiing equal to the best of any other CMH area. Its great size and quick accessibility by vans and helicopters allow us to find good skiing even in inclement weather.

CMH Silvertip

CMH Silvertip
CMH Silvertip’s ski area in the Cariboos is spectacular, offering its private groups unlimited skiing, about 80 percent of it in trees, in an area more than half the size of Luxembourg (1,462 square kilometres, to be exact). Few people have ever seen, much less skied, the rugged, gloriously undeveloped mountains of this very remote part of British Columbia.

CMH Valemount

CMH Valemount
Valemount, designed for private groups of 10 skiers, is nestled in the valley from which it takes its name, just outside the little town of Valemount. We ski in the vast Cariboos, enjoying the range’s wide variety of terrain, from long, steep, exhilarating tree runs to wide-open glaciers. Private groups enjoy the use of their own helicopter and two guides, allowing for a high degree of flexibility and unlimited skiing.
