If you’re not sure whether you’re ready for Heli-Skiing, please call us to discuss further.

We also invite you to take a look at our video, Introducing CMH Heli-Skiing.

Tips for a First Time Heli-Skier:

• Book a Powder Introduction Program
  
• Ski as much as possible in advance
  
• Challenge yourself with steeper runs & away from groomed slopes
  
• Take lessons and get an honest assessment of your ability
  
• Get fit! Improve your strength and endurance. See past-issues of CMH News for ideas.
  

Please note: If a skier has over-estimated his or her skill-level, we reserve the right to have this skier return to the lodge after a couple of runs and/or remain in the lodge. This decision depends on the snow conditions and stability and the terrain hazards in the areas available to us for skiing. The safety of ALL skiers is our overriding priority. Skiers who cannot keep up with the group may be asked to remain in the lodge or leave before the end of the week.
