Heli-Assisted Ski Touring: The CMH Way

A perfect introduction to the rewarding sport of ski touring


When a young Hans Gmoser first started taking guests into the mountains almost 50 years ago the thought of using a helicopter to get to the top never occurred to him. Hans believed you 'earned your turns' by rhythmically sliding skin-clad touring skis up pristine slopes in winter.

You don't need previous touring experience to join in, but you do need to be in good physical condition and have the same downhill skiing ability we require of our heli-skiers. Helicopter access to prime ski touring terrain eliminates the need for long valley slogs so you can concentrate on skiing. All of the reward of traditional ski touring, minus the tent, dehydrated food and heavy pack. Skiers will need clothing appropriate for ski touring. If you don't have touring skis and boots we can arrange rentals in Banff.

How it works

Ten touring guests will share the lodge with our Heli-Skiers. Each day touring guests and 2 guides catch the first helicopter flight of the day for an exhilarating downhill to start. After a full day of touring in the Columbias, fly back to all the amenities and camaraderie awaiting at the lodge.

If the idea of experiencing a different kind of mountain ski adventure appeals to you, come join us on a great week of ski touring, CMH style.
