Heli-Ski Guides
From the start, guiding has been serious business at CMH. Our founder, Hans Gmoser, set this standard with his values of respect and awe, humble moderation and understanding while in the mountains.
Most CMH guides have made a lifelong career of their passion. Our 110-member guiding team averages 12 ½ years of guiding experience. The majority of CMH guides are fully certified by the International Federation of Mountain Guide Associations (IFMGA), a process that takes an average of eight years. All guides take ongoing refresher courses in avalanche hazard evaluation and stabilization, weather analysis, and emergency medicine.
Our guiding team is an international entity, bringing together Heli-Ski professionals from Canada , the U.S. , Europe, and New Zealand . Individually, our guides are vigilant in keeping our guests safe while skiing. Within each area, our guides also work as a team, maintaining continuous radio contact with each other throughout the day. Further communication occurs with the rest of the CMH areas each evening, as guides compare weather trends, snow conditions, and other important safety factors.
