The World's Greatest Heli Skiing and Heli Hiking , in British Columbia, Canada
The best heli-skiing and the most spectacular heli-hiking in the world, Canadian Mountain Holidays was the first company to take eager skiers into the remote mountains of British Columbia, Canada by helicopter. Now, after over 50 years of business, CMH has earned its reputation as the premier Heli-Ski and Summer Adventures company in its niche. Barb Follett has worked with CMH for several decades
(we won't tell you how many exactly!) and is happy to answer any and all questions you might have about heli-skiing and/or hiking in Western Canada. She is based in Washington, DC and is your #1 resource for the trip of a lifetime.

People ask us all the time to explain the idea of heli-hiking.
It's different from heli-skiing in that sense, which comes with a certain prestige.
We believe that heli-hiking should come with that same reputation - it is an absolute gamechanger for anybody who loves the outdoors.
It's just that it's still building that reputation, in the same way heli-skiing did in the 70s.
Photos and videos don't really do it justice, honestly. It really is something that has to be enjoyed and experienced firsthand.
You can easily and quickly reach high alpine meadows and towering summits by noon, eat a delicious lunch by a crystal clear lake and then wander around a glacier until the helicopter picks you up.
At that point, you head back to the luxurious lodge where you can grab a beer, a bite to eat, and then relax in the sauna or hottub before supper.
Trust me, it's one of the most relaxing holidays you can ever take that involves doing something.

Have you ever heard how heli-hiking was invented? It's all about inspiration.
The very first trip in history was in 1977, when heli-sport pioneer Hans Gmoser first took guests to the Canadian Rockies in the summer. He had been heli-skiing for a few years and felt that he had enough experience to launch another kind of adventure.
One special guest joining the group was Hans' close friend and mentor, Lizzie Rummel, who was by that point in her 80s.
As the chopper stopped on a glacier, Hans stepped out to take a look around. As he surveyed the vast mountain peaks, he heard a loud clatter on the ice behind him.
Turning around, he saw Lizzie standing on the glacier crying. She was so thankful to be up high in the alpine landscape again that she could do nothing but weep from joy and thank Hans for the idea.
If you've ever felt inspired by a mountain, you'll understand the feeling!

Had a great few days back home in Alberta and BC to attend the 2022 CMH Heli-Skiing & Summer Adventures Global Sales Meetings. Here are some of our highlights:
1️⃣: 44 mile bike ride up the Bow River valley from Canmore to Lake Louise - I love my DC biking but there's nothing that compares to the scenery of the Canadian Rockies 🏔️
2️⃣: A day at the Calgary rodeo + chuckwagon races, just like when I used to go as a kid. Didn't splurge on any mini donuts this time though! 🍩
3️⃣: Hanging out at the gorgeous CMH Cariboos lodge and enjoying the remote luxury vibes. I love being deep in the mountain wilderness but I'm NOT sleeping in a tent at this point 🏕️
4️⃣: Getting out to hike around in the alpine paradise that is interior British Columbia. Truly one of my favourite places in the world 🌎
5️⃣: Another trip up the Zillmer Canyon via ferrata! If you haven't heard about this experience please get in touch with me so I can tell you all about it📱
Big thanks to CMH and everyone who came out, I had so much fun catching up with old friends and colleagues. It's been too long!
🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day from all of us at CMH Mid-Atlantic! 🇨🇦
Throwback to Hans and Margaret laying down tracks in the Bugaboos 78' 🎿
One of the toughest parts of this whole 2020 situation was not being able to escape the heat and humidity in July and August, but I’m way more optimistic about 2021.
Picture a pristine, wide-open alpine meadow, pure glacial water flowing around you, fresh pine trees spreading their scent across miles and miles of untamed wilderness, then retiring to one of our three five-star remote lodges for a drink, a massage, some time in the hot tub and then a world-class meal served to you and your loved ones to share and enjoy together.
Let these pictures speak for themselves!
If you're looking to see yourself here this summer, pay attention this week to our social media channels to learn how we can get you out of the big city smog and into the fresh mountain air

July and August in British Columbia 🇨🇦 are my favorites.
There really isn't anywhere in the world quite like it - a trip to visit the Canadian Rockies should be on everyone's bucket list.
Escape the east coast heat next summer and get some quality time and clean air surrounded by granite giants, fresh glacial lakes and towering pine trees in Canada's natural wonderland.

Friend of CMH Mid-Atlantic Rory sent us this awesome video after our shout-out the other day.
I'll be honest, I've watched it countless times. For some reason Thanksgiving week always makes me feel like skiing...even if, in 2020, that just means living vicariously through other people's photos and videos.
If you have a photo or video you'd like us to feature send it to us at [email protected] or +1 240 506 9421 and we'll put it out on our social media channels!

If none of those options work for you, here are a couple more courtesy of our brain trust here at CMH Mid-Atlantic:
- Impersonate Santa Claus – do reindeer have to follow social distancing? These are big questions.
