Transworld Photo Editor Nick Hamilton and Editor In Chief Kurt Hoy agree: “It’s the world’s best snowboarding.” This trip is the chance of a lifetime, open to anyone with strong riding skills and a healthy appetite for powder. You’ll shred the terrain of your dreams with legendary pros, CMH guides, and the Transworld crew. Nick Hamilton will be there (on his 185 swallowtail) to document the action; slide shows will go down midweek, and he’ll send you home with a CD and a custom print to prove that it was real. Board giveaways, bonfires, and a guaranteed 71,000 vertical feet of riding (five-day trip) are all a part of deal: watch this site for more information.

Steep Skiing Camps The CMH Steep Skiing Camp is designed for skiers and snowboarders looking for a challenge on seriously steep terrain. We have planned this trip for late April, when snow conditions are the most stable and the days are longer, allowing us the opportunities and flexibility to ski more challenging terrain. Take a look at the Skiing the Steeps with CMH slideshow and check out our Skiing the Steeps video to see what kind of terrain we're talking about. You must be a strong, confident skier or rider comfortable on double black diamond runs at resorts like Whistler and Jackson Hole and able to cope with tighter terrain (i.e. couloirs). Guides are happy to provide tips for handling challenging terrain in all types of conditions. Please note: if you overrate your ability and/or fitness level we reserve the right to move you to a more appropriate group. These weeks will be limited to 10 skiers, with two guides, and will take place in the Cariboos and Bobbie Burns April 19 to 26, 2008, at a rate of $5,604 based on twin occupancy. The 2009 dates are April 11 - 18 in the Cariboos, at a rate of $6,600, and April 18 - 25 in the Bobbie Burns, at a rate of $6,413, based on twin occupancy.

There are some people who are always searching, always looking over the horizon, wondering and wandering: they are the Nomads. For those people, there is only one Heli-Skiing company who can offer them a trip like the “CMH Nomads Week.” The Nomads Weeks is arguably the most dynamic trip ever offered by CMH. Spanning two mountain ranges, the Selkirks and the Monahsees, we will travel through six separate Heli-Skiing areas and cover the far reaches of each of them. The idea is that each of our areas has terrain that, on any given day, will not be utilized by the main groups. With vast amounts of terrain to choose from, we will be looking for the far-flung, yet exceptional, skiing in each area. We will work closely with the guiding team in each of the areas and choose the terrain that is best suited to a single group in the outer reaches of the tenure area. Each day we will endeavor to have a program that keeps us away from the other groups. And with cooperative snow and weather, each day the Nomad group will move through different parts of the ranges. There will be just one group of eight skiers with three guides. One guide will be used exclusively for snow safety work and flagging landings in advance of the skiing group. This trip comes with some uncertainty in that we will not know in advance exactly where we will be skiing. We will know the general areas, but our decisions for any given day will depend upon the weather, the snow, the input of the local guiding teams and the other CMH groups in the areas in which we are travelling. We will start skiing in the north, in the Monashee Mountains, and work our way south to the Selkirk Mountains, ultimately ending our skiing in Kootenay. The first part of the week we will stay in Monashee (and/or Adamant) Lodge. The last three nights will be spent at the wonderful Halcyon Hot Springs Village and Spa. You can learn more about this facility by going to www.halcyon-hotspings.com. General itinerary:
This trip includes 17 hours of flying time. Extra flying will be charged at a rate of $4,054 per flying hour. If your group uses less than 17 hours of flying you will be refunded at a rate of $5,000 per flying hour. |
