I can tell you that there is nothing in the world like Heli-skiing with CMH and the Cariboos is a great choice for new & experienced heli-skiers, thanks to our consistent snow fall and big mountain terrain. When Mother Nature created the Cariboos she was definitely thinking about skiing! </em></p> <p><em>If you're looking for a challenge, check out our Steep Skiing Weeks which are exclusive to the Cariboos and hosted by our Assistant Manager and skier-extraordinaire, Dave Gauley. Rounding out our management team is Erin Teunissen and Shawna Soellner, two long-time CMHers who, along with their team, are totally committed to making your CMH experience truly memorable.

The Cariboo Mountains beg to be skied, offering both extensive alpine runs and phenomenal tree skiing. The numerous safe and obvious drop-offs and pickups for the helicopter offer our guests access to a wide range of runs. Consistently high levels of snowfall in the North Thompson Valley ensure the Cariboos enjoy prime Heli-Skiing conditions until very late in the season.</p> <table id="info_table"> <tr> <td class="item">Mountain Ranges</td> <td class="value">Cariboos</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td class="item">Notable Runs</td> <td class="value">Moustache, Crazy Horse, Going Home</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="item">Base Elevation</td> <td class="value">1100m</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td class="item">Skiing Elevation</td> <td class="value">1100m - 3000m</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="item">Skiing Terrain</td> <td class="value">1489 sq. km – 382 runs (Cariboos & Valemount)</td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td class="item">Average Snowfall</td> <td class="value">@ 1800 m: 1400 cm </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="item">Accommodations & Facilities</td> <td class="value"> <ul> <li>12 single and 16 double/twin rooms, all with private bath,</li> <li>bar-lounge area,</li> <li>dining room</li> <li>games room</li> <li>shop</li> <li>climbing wall</li> <li>exercise equipment</li> <li>massage</li> <li>whirlpool (outdoor) and sauna</li> </ul> </td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td class="item">Connectivity</td> <td class="value"> <ul> <li>Wi-Fi for laptops & other devices in most guest rooms, near workstations and in other common areas,</li> <li>ADSL internet connection via mountain top wireless repeater,</li> <li>Ethernet, and</li> <li>2 guest PCs</li> </ul> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="item">Capacity</td> <td class="value">44 guests</td> </tr> </table> </div> <h4 class="accordion_toggle">Google Map - CMH Cariboo Lodge</h4> <div class="accordion_content"> <div class="map"> <iframe width="455" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=52.720013,+-119.470871+(Cariboos)&g=52.720013,+-119.470871&ie=UTF8&t=h&s=AARTsJq3WPBnIjrc-UJFvtFpFlJxGTO_lw&ll=52.726312,-119.466705&spn=0.018193,0.039053&z=14&iwloc=addr&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=52.720013,+-119.470871+(Cariboos)&g=52.720013,+-119.470871&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=52.726312,-119.466705&spn=0.018193,0.039053&z=14&iwloc=addr&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small> </div> </div> <h4 class="accordion_toggle">Additional Information About CMH Cariboo Lodge</h4> <div class="accordion_content"> <p>Avalanches are the original ski run cutters, and when the slope’s angle is consistent, the clearings left by avalanches tend to be parallel sided. When the angle increases, the avalanche paths narrow, and when the angle decreases the paths tend to widen like water flowing in a river. The angle of the valley walls in the Cariboos is so consistent that mountains are striped with avalanche paths running parallel to each other like the teeth of a giant comb for as far as the eye can see – even from a helicopter. Each of the paths can be skied, and on many of them a runaway ski following the fall line unchecked will end up right at the pickup.</p> <p>The terrain of the Cariboos is an amalgamation of all the different kinds of features that make up great skiing: the long, powder-cloaked old-growth forests, steep serpentine ridgelines, friendly glades, rock-edged couloirs, undulating glaciers, planar mountain faces and chaotic combinations of all of the above. </p> <p>So massive and obvious is the ski potential in the Cariboos that if there had been no sawmill camp in the Bugaboos to serve as an ideal base for launching the operation, heli-skiing in Canada would likely have started in the Cariboos. The mountainsides just beg to be skied. There are numerous safe and obvious drop-offs and pickups for the helicopter, and with the smaller craft of the day, the location of the present Cariboo Lodge would have allowed more efficient access to varied ski terrain than the precipitous, albeit incomparably spectacular Bugaboos. Thus, when the demand for heli-skiing exceeded the capacity of the Bugaboos, it was an easy decision where to ski next.</p> <p>For much of the timber used in the construction, they took trees from the building site and hauled them to a sawmill, where the logs were hewn into boards and beams. Then the wood was hauled back to the building site and used in the construction. The beautiful woodwork in the lodge is made of trees harvested from the very land where the lodge now sits.</p> <p><strong>From <em>Bugaboo Dreams</em> by Topher Donahue</strong><br /> Get your copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bugaboo-Dreams-Skiers-Helicopters-Mountains/dp/1897522118/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243106856&sr=8-1" target="_blank"><em>Bugaboo Dreams</em></a> today.</p> </div> </div>
