CMH Heliski Summary:

Canadian Mountain Holidays Heli Skiing is by far the largest provider of heli skiing in Canada.  Eleven CMH Heliski lodges and areas offer tremendous variety. HELISKI.com can help you make the right choice among the hundreds of CMH Helicopter Skiing options.

Travel for most CMH heliski lodges is by coach from Calgary. It ranges from four hours to Adamants (not including the thirty minute chopper ride) to nine hours to Cariboos (which is why Canadian Mountain Holidays Heli Skiing only offers week-long trips to Cariboos).

There are a few exceptions to the long bus rides, however.  Valemount is accessed by a private charter, with a total travel time of just two hours! CMH Heliski Kootenay is typically self-drive access from Spokane, Washington in the US. CMH heli-skiing Revelstoke and Galena are reached through Kelowna in two or four hours respectively.

Most CMH helicopter skiing is in groups of ten or eleven guest per lift. Usually four groups share a Bell 212 helicopter. Canadian Mountain Holidays Skiing offers small group heliskiing at Adamants, Kootenay and on a limited basis at the Monashees.

The typical Canadian Mountain Holidays Heli Skiing lodge is in a remote setting, often accessed by helicopter. Most CMH helicopter skiing lodges accommodate 44 guests at a time. Gothics is a notable exception with 30 guests per week, and skiing in just three groups of ten guests.

Two CMH heliski areas utilize hotels for lodging – CMH Heliski Kootenay and CMH Heliski Revelstoke. In both cases, guests can take advantage of the amenities that the local town offers. And both are good values.

    Comments: I'm a repeat customer of Silvertip heli. I've been to 8 different BC heli/cat lodges. I consider silvertip to be one of the best operations in BC. They have the terrain, 60ft of snow , and its north so its tends to be colder to preserve snow. No heli operator is perfect, but i feel silvertip has more odds stacked in their favor to make your trip amazing.
