Where, exactly?

All CMH’s 11 destinations are in British Columbia, Canada. On the western side of the great swash of the Rocky Mountain Trench, running closely parallel with the Canadian Rockies, is a lesser-known collection of peaks and ranges called the Columbia Mountains. CMH’s heli-ski lodges are perfectly peppered along its subranges—the Purcell, Monashee, Selkirk, and Cariboo Mountains. Older than the Rockies by a few hundred million years, comparable to them in height, and fully equal in majesty, the geography of these ranges equates to an unparalleled and steady supply of deep, light, powder snow that simply isn’t found anywhere else.

3,000,000 acres

We have 3 million exclusive acres of incredible terrain for you to ski and ride across our 11 unique destinations. What in the Canadian-loving H-E-double-hockey-sticks is an acre? Let’s just put it this way: 3 million acres is bigger than all North American ski areas combined. It’s 20x larger than all the chairlift skiing on the continent. No, that’s not a typo. It’s a whole lot o' terrain to explore, and it’s all yours to do so. 

World's first

The entire heli-ski industry can trace its roots to our founder and visionary mountain guide, Hans Gmoser; the man who started it all in 1965 when he took a group of skiers to the top of a mountain in a “bubble copter” and guided them down through virgin snow. At that moment, heli-skiing — and CMH — was born. Since then, we’ve been at the forefront of safety, hospitality, and the entire experience you’ll enjoy. 

Early to the best terrain

In the half-century that followed the birth of heli-skiing, CMH made exclusive claims to millions of acres of the ultimate ski terrain on Earth, with every spot handpicked by Hans himself. Because of this, you have exclusive access to these special regions with the best snow, views and terrain you can imagine. Our alpine playground is roughly a third the size of Switzerland.
