One of our greatest joys at CMH is seeing so many skiers return year
after year. Some of you started with Hans and Leo back in the early
years in the Bugaboos. Many more of you joined us in the seasons that
followed. We’re honoured and privileged that you continue to
ski with us. After sharing so many wonderful experiences in the mountains
and at the lodges, you’re no longer just clients or guests,
but family.
We know that Heli-Skiers are forever young in heart and mind, but we
also know that the rest of the mechanism doesn’t always get
the message. We designed our Powder Masters, under the expert direction
of Roko Koell, to keep up our friendship and keep you on the slopes
as long as your spirit is willing.
Powder Masters emphasizes quality of skiing over quantity of vertical
feet (but, as always, stresses safety above all). Its two guides and
a maximum of ten guests per group insure a high level of personal attention.
When the conditions are right we’ll “giv’er.” When
the snow is tricky or the weather is poor, we’ll cherry-pick
the best skiing we can find. Our main goal is to maximize your enjoyment
of skiing in the mountains we all love. Powder Masters weeks are offered
throughout the season. We eagerly knock ourselves out to make your
Masters week a grand event, a tremendous Heli-Skiing experience.
