60 Years of This

Heli-skiing first took flight six decades ago among the granite spires of the Bugaboos in British Columbia, Canada. It was the first successful commercial heli-skiing trip and the start of CMH Heli-Skiing.
Hans Gmoser, CMH's founder and renowned Mountain Guide, led that inaugural trip on April 5, 1965. Its success sparked an entire industry and a new way of skiing.
So, here's to 60 years of people joined by the thread of a snow-filled dream. Here’s to all the moments in between. The first flights and lodge nights. The mountaintops and lunch stops. The steep drops, face shots, tall tales, yard sales, first-timers and old-timers. Here’s to you, and to those yet to experience the view.
Be part of it. You're invited to join the celebration online and in person:

“The memories and anticipation of CMH occupy our every thought until the moment of return.” You nailed it! Whoever came up with that has been there, done that for sure! As an “old timer”, my time with CMH has been part of my DNA for decades now. Thanks for it all!
