Revelstoke

Welcome to ski mecca

From resort to backcountry

Topping the list as one of the most desired ski locations in the world, Revelstoke is a triple threat when it comes to snow, terrain and location. Few places in the world compare in access to steep, treed terrain, expansive, glaciated alpine and a snowpack that pairs frequent storm volume with blower light density. Now, internationally ski famous due to nearby Revelstoke Mountain Resort and its prominent role in countless ski movies, those who know have discovered the glory of this railroad and resource town that boasts some of the best terrain and powder on the planet.

CMH was four decades ahead of the migration, with our founder Hans Gmoser setting up shop as the first heli op in the area in 1971 and securing the biggest, best expanse of prime heli-accessed tenure. Vast reserves of terrain await CMH guests who shuttle or self-drive to this thriving epicentre of deep powder vertical. CMH Revelstoke is unique since our in-town location offers resort-ski backup for those rare days when valley fog keeps us grounded. Couple that with the option of many different private accommodation choices and you’ll be sure to find something that ticks all your heli-skiing vacation boxes. Whether you’re a first-timer or a vertical hungry veteran, Revelstoke has what you’re looking for.

Varied terrain

With 1,600 square kilometers of steep, spaced trees, wide-open bowls and expansive, glaciated alpine, we’re pretty sure we can find a few of our 240+ runs to your group’s liking at CMH Revelstoke. Not exactly the Canadian Rockies, our tenure straddles the Monashee and Selkirk mountain ranges, featuring an immense variety of terrain at altitudes from challenging to forgiving. Known for consistent pitch directly to the valley floor, the Selkirks are legendary as a venue for some of the best tree skiing in the world. On the other hand, the Monashees are globally famous for the pure volume of snowfall that coats fun, featured playgrounds and manageable pillow lines with deep stacks of snowpack. 

With so much varied terrain, the style of skiing at CMH Revelstoke is easily matched to group ability and interest. It delivers everything from Powder Intro trips for first-time heli-skiers to those looking to step up their freeride game. From newbies to longtime returning crews, couples or families, CMH Revelstoke endures as the premier venue in the mecca of the heli-skiing industry.

Absolutely phenomenal

Our family had the best experience heli-skiing this past week. The thousands of vertical feet of untouched powder were heaven.
