2014 Trip Feature Information
Family Weeks
Women’s Heli-Skiing
Powder 405 – Freeride Camp
Designed for Heli-Skiing parents and their children, parents are expected to ski with their kids, but when the kids get tired and return to the lodge, Mom and Dad can stay out to ski. Children 12 – 17 years pay 50% adult price + 50% vertical guarantee. If you have a child under 12 capable of Heli-Skiing, please call us to discuss. New Guest Credits and Group Organizer’s Credits do not apply on child prices.
With all due respect to our friends with the XY chromosome, it is probably not a bad idea to forego the male presence while ripping powder. The mission of this trip is awesome skiing and lots of fun.
This trip is designed to get you onto exciting and interesting terrain features where you can let those dogs run! Embracing this new way of skiing, the guiding team at CMH Revelstoke will introduce you to techniques and tips that will allow you to capitalize on ski technology and increase your ability to safely move through terrain in unique, creative, and exciting new ways. Helmets are mandatory.
Helicopter Assisted Ski Touring Ski Touring Trips for groups of up to 10 skiers are available throughout the winter at many of our amazing lodges. Transportation not included on Adamants touring trips.
K2 Demo Days Join the K2 team and be among the first to demo K2’s 2014-15 skis! The reward is a free pair of skis once they hit the shelves in the fall of 2014. K2 Athlete Weeks Join professional K2 high performance athletes who are actively skiing throughout the season around the world. In rare situations injury or other circumstance may prevent an athlete to appear, CMH and K2 will do our very best to substitute another prominent K2 athlete.
Next Generation On these selected trips, if you have someone between 12-25 years who wants to join your trip, they heli-ski for 50% adult price + 50% vertical guarantee. Parents are expected to ski with their children between 12-19 years (19 is the legal age of majority in BC). New Guest Credits and Group Organizer’s Credits do not apply on child prices.
Nostalgia Week A CMH tradition! This trip is open to all levels of skiers. Join us for great stories, hearty laughs, a few inside jokes and of course, unparalleled spring skiing.
2 l CMH Heli-Skiing
Pay As You Play Your trip cost covers transportation, accommodation, meals and services, beyond that, you pay for what you choose to ski - as much or as little as you want, as conditions allow. With no guaranteed footage, you will ski at a rate of $160/1,000 metres (3,280 vertical feet). Generally, there will be several chances to return to the lodge throughout the day when the helicopter refuels, but we cannot offer skiers the option to fly out after every run; otherwise it would interrupt the regular skiing program.
Powder 101 - The Intro These trips are designed to introduce strong intermediate skiers to deep snow skiing and move them past the initial hurdles of skiing in wilderness terrain. This program is not for beginner skiers! You should be a newcomer to deep snow skiing and at least a strong intermediate skier. Powder 101 is also for those who would like to ski with maximum 10 guests and 2 guides.
Powder 101 - Girls’ School It’s been our experience that when it comes to supporting and encouraging one another, a tight group of female adventurers is living, skiing proof that sisterhood is powerful. An ideal environment for learning is exactly what you’ll find when you sign up for this women-only version of Powder 101.
Powder 203 – Intro to Skiing Big Trees Conducted amidst the world’s finest old growth cedar forest skiing terrain, you’ll get hands-on instruction ranging from line selection to turning techniques that will have you slaying trees like Paul Bunyan.
Powder 401 - Steep Shots and Pillow Drops For advanced skiers who want to maximize their terrain, from steeps, to big open lines, to glades, with the ability to trampoline from one snow mushroom to the next. If you want to learn how to get the most dynamic and fun skiing out of each run, this is the program for you. Helmets are mandatory.
Powder 505 - The Steeps Designed to take you into the most challenging terrain available, our goal is to keep you safe, while looking for the lines that will give you the best chance to develop your skills with expert coaching. Ski with 9 skiers/riders (split into 2 groups), 3 guides and a Bell 407 helicopter. Additional skiing above the guarantee is $140/1,000 metres (3,280 vertical feet). Helmets are mandatory. In addition, a complimentary Avalanche Flotation Device is provided and compliance is considered a best practise.
Powder 707 - The Masters Powder 707 is offered on selected trips at different areas throughout the season, with a maximum of 10 guests and 2 guides. The main goal of the Masters program is to maximize the enjoyment of skiing focusing on the quality rather than quantity of skiing.
Ski Fusion This trip combines Heli-Skiing (4 days) and Ski Touring (3 days) with maximum 10 skiers and 2 guides. Your guides will assess the weather and conditions daily to decide which days will be touring or Heli-Skiing. Guaranteed vertical: 17,500 metres 57,000 vertical feet.
Small Group Program Small groups mean quick lifts and opportunities to ski challenging lines. Group capacity: Adamants: 6 groups of 5 skiers in 2 helicopters. Monashees: Number of groups vary. CMH K2: 3 groups of 5 skiers in 1 helicopter. Revelstoke: 3 groups of 5 skiers in 1 helicopter. Additional skiing above the guarantee is $140/1,000 metres (3,280 vertical feet).

CMH K2 Small Group Program With two mountain ranges and endless valleys of perfectly spaced trees and open bowls, CMH K2 is a skier’s paradise. We are blessed with abundant snowfall and have so much terrain, we never run out of fresh slopes to ride. Guests stay in the CMH K2 Rotor Lodge in downtown Nakusp, on the shores of Arrow Lake, south of Revelstoke. The lodge is owned and operated by CMH. We access our ski areas from
several staging points, using vans to transport guests to the helicopters. Hard-core skiers and riders should consider our Small Group Heli-Skiing program which is 15 skiers/ riders divided into 3 groups of 5 skiers plus 1 guide, in one Bell 407 Helicopter, allowing us to fly further afield for more time on the slopes.

2013 private weeks 2014 The Experience The Ultimate UltimateSki Ski Experience
If Heli-Skiing is the ultimate ski experience, Private Weeks are very likely the ultimate way to enjoy that experience. Private groups have exclusive use of a helicopter and two guides and tremendous flexibility in setting their own pace and choosing the amount of skiing they want to do.
When CMH first offered Private Weeks, we had no idea how popular they would become. But the chance to enjoy the world’s greatest skiing (and snowboarding) in privacy and with maximum versatility has proven a huge winner. We accommodate private groups of four to ten skiers throughout the season at Gothics, Nomads, Valemount, Monashees, Revelstoke and Galena.

2014 private weeks Gothics & NOMADS
Only CMH Heli-Skiing can offer private trips that span both the Selkirk and Monashee ranges, skis through three to six separate CMH Heli-Skiing areas and travels through seldom skied terrain. With exclusive use of the helicopter, you will experience freedom, exploration, exhilaration, fun and the original spirit of Heli-Skiing with experienced local guides from each area.
Nomads is the same style of program, but based at Halcyon Hot Springs Resort between Revelstoke and Nakusp. From very comfortable accommodations in private lakeside chalets, and with great dining and a beautiful spa, your private group finds the best snow by roaming the spectacular runs of our Galena, Kootenay and Revelstoke areas. Nomads operates with a Bell 212 (with up to 10 skiers). Transportation to Halcyon Hot Springs is by helicopter from Kelowna. Transportation by ground may also be arranged.

Here’s the nomad part: you roam freely through the Gothics area and beyond, to access the adjoining Monashee and Adamant terrain. This vast expanse of mountains, encompassing three of our already sizeable operating areas, provides endless choices and even the possibility of runs never skied before! Transportation to Gothics is by private ground transfer from Kelowna. Transportation by helicopter may also be arranged at an additional cost. In the event that a Bell 407 is not available for the trip, CMH will substitute a 212 at no extra charge.

DEPOSIT & CANCELLATION Information
CMH Heli-Skiing is the world’s most comprehensive and spectacular wilderness skiing experience
Galena, Gothics, Nomads, Monashees, and Revelstoke refund policy
available to Heli-Skiers and Snowboarders worldwide.
Each 7 day private group is guaranteed 40,000 vertical metres (131,000 vertical feet) of skiing. With two or more groups the guarantee is 30,500 vertical metres (100,000 vertical feet). For shorter trips the guarantee is pro-rated by the number of days.
1.
The deposit for all private trips with 5 to 10 guests is $50,000.00 and for private trips with 1 to 4 guests is $15,000.00 All deposits are fully non-refundable without exception.
2.
Deposits are transferable to another private week, if available, within the same season only. They cannot be transferred to another season, bookings in other areas for non-private weeks or to another private group booking as a credit to the final payment.
3.
Final payments are non-refundable and are due 10 weeks prior to the trip. The deposit and cancellation policy for private group weeks is different from other CMH areas due to the following:
•
We must make significant commitments to our suppliers in order to operate a trip and we have a very limited number of weeks available for private groups.
• We must ask for a significant commitment from those wishing to book a private week since we will have turned away others wanting the same week.
29 l CMH Heli-Skiing private weeks
If, the group skis less than the guaranteed metres because of poor weather or mechanical breakdown, refunds will be given to each individual in the group on the basis of $130 per 1,000 vertical metres of skiing when using a Bell 212 and $170 per 1,000 vertical metres when using a Bell 407. If, for reasons of poor weather or mechanical breakdown, the group cannot fly and does not reach 30,000 vertical metres (22,000 metres with two or more groups) a further credit of $1,000.00 will be given to each person in the group. The credit has no cash value but may be used for any booking with CMH during the next two seasons. There is no refund if the guarantee is not reached because a skier chooses not to ski or is physically unable due to lack of fitness or ability.
Valemount refund policy Valemount Lodge’s guarantee is based on flying hours (see the Valemount page in the booklet). If the group flies less than the guaranteed hours because of poor weather or mechanical breakdown, refunds will be given to the group on the basis of $5,630 per flying hour. There is no refund if the guarantee is not reached because a skier chooses not to ski or is physically unable due to lack of fitness or ability.
