Safety
"Risk management at CMH is a complex process. We have to consider weather and snow conditions, helicopter safety, terrain, abilities, wildlife… We don't do all this just to ensure our guests' safety: our guides and pilots want to get home safely at the end of each day as well!
My name is Jon Bezzola, but thanks to my early days with CMH – competing with two other Jons and a Jean-Francois over a static-filled radio line – I am known as "Colani". I've been with CMH since 1975, and have been the Mountain Safety Manager since 1991, following many years of managing the Bobbie Burns Lodge. I've seen great progress in snow science and communication technology over the years. This has impacted our ability to manage conditions more effectively and share information to help learn from and improve our practices.
As you read through the following pages on CMH's risk management strategies, I invite you to contact me directly if you have any questions about our program. Please e-mail me at safety@cmhinc.com, or call me at 1-800-661-0252."
