Family Heli-Skiing

A trip for multiple generations

Ski & ride together in the middle of nowhere

Winter family vacations don’t come much better than this. Connect as you ski and ride deep in the backcountry and meet other adventurous families from around the world. We take care of all the important details — this is your week to forget about meal prep and how you’re getting to the hill. All you need worry about is … well … nothing.

Unplugged family time

A CMH Family trip is an excellent introduction to wilderness conditions for the younger members of your family aged 12 and up. Give the kids a taste of powder as you heli-ski together for a completely unforgettable lifetime memory. Connect, completely unplugged (well, minus your kids’ likely prolific photo-taking) and bask in the feeling of watching multiple generations of your family skiing or riding together. 

Your guides will lead your crew through friendly terrain while also giving you the adrenaline that comes with making out-of-bounds turns. And when the heli shuts down for the night, our lodges are jam-packed with options for self-guided play: games rooms, musical instruments, snowball fights and more. With more than enough room to roam, they’ll be anything but bored. 

Group Size

Customized groups of up to

10 guests + 2 guides

On a typical Family trip at CMH, you’ll get to ski or ride in personalized groups of just 10 guests or less. When you think about sharing resort groomers with up to 20,000 skiers on any given Saturday, 10 is a magic number. 

 

Helicopter

Daily flights in a

Bell 212

Our Family trips use the powerful Bell 212 — the classic machine that heli-skiing was built on.

Skiable Terrain

CMH has exclusive access to:

3,000,000 acres

CMH's total terrain is bigger than all North American ski areas put together. That’s not a typo. Our exclusive three-million-acre territory is 20x larger than all the combined chairlift skiing on the continent. Woah. It would likely take several years to ski all our runs more than once — but we’re happy to help you try. Just throwin’ the challenge out there.

Average vertical

On an average 7-day trip, expect to ski & ride up to:

30,500m / 100,000 ft

On a 7-day CMH Family trip, you'll log between 50,000 - 100,000 vertical feet of skiing and riding, which is a few dozen heli rides worth of “Yewwwwww!” (This amount will vary based on trip length, run length, group dynamics, weather, etc.) Fun fact: to log the same amount of vertical at a resort, you’d have to spend up to 7 hours in a lift line and take double the number of chairlift rides. Heli, please.
