View the Galena Photo Gallery - take peek inside the lodge and see the latest photos from the field.

Galena Lodge is located in a wild and remote setting surrounded by some of the most varied and challenging tree skiing CMH offers. All our Galena skiing is done in the Badshot Range of the Selkirks, known for its abundant snow, rugged beauty, and quality skiing. Three major valleys converge close to the lodge, providing access to skiable areas in most types of weather. Galena is for stronger, aggressive skiers only, and shouldn’t be considered by first time Heli-Skiers.

Notable runs: Mega Bubba, Hanging Gardens, Freefall



Mike Welch
Lodge Manager

Growing up in a small farm town in Alberta Mike happened upon skiing by accident through a school field trip to Paskapoo in Calgary, which is now Canada Olympic Park. He was 15 at the time and immediately fell in love with skiing. In 1984, after finishing school he moved to Banff to work at Sunshine Village Ski Resort. As a patroller he met several people who were into guiding and they piqued his interest and encouraged his education into backcountry travel. In 1990 Mike started working for CMH as an assistant guide in the Cariboos and moved on to Galena in 1993. He became a full mountain guide in 1995 and has been the manager at Galena since 2000. For Mike, guiding and working for CMH gives him a tremendous amount of freedom and allows him to spend most of his time outdoors being active. When not guiding Mike likes to mountain bike, fly fish and play hockey.
