Best Heliskiing Pics of December from CMH Heli-Skiing
Our heliskiing season began just over 4 weeks ago and in that time our guides and guests have sent in some fantastic photos. In honour of Twitter's #FriFotos and because it's the end of the month, and year, here are some of the best photos we've seen this month.
Here we go:
#1 - Blower Snow at CMH Galena on December 17, by CMH Heli-Skiing guide, Michael Welch:
#2 - Waist Deep, CMH Gothics on December 14:
#3 - Alpine Pick Up, CMH Revelstoke on December 9 by CMH Guide Jorg Wilz. We are proudly associated with Alpine Helicopters who supply our Bell 212s, Bell 407s and Bell L3s for Heli-Skiing and Heli-Hiking, not to mention fantastic pilots that are specially trained to fly in our mountain environment and top-notch engineers at each lodge for daily maintenance of the helicopter fleet. When your legs are aching after skiing 7000 vertical metres of powder in a day, this taxi is a welcome sight.
#4 - Cold Smoke, CMH Galena on Dec 4, 2010 by Michael Welch. Yes, this was how we started the heliski season. It just keeps getting better.
#5 - CMH Bugaboos Guiding Team, by CMH Guide Andrew Wexler. I love this photo because of what it represents. The guide in the foreground in Dani Loewenstein, one of our newer guides and standing behind him is one of our longest-serving heliski guides, Kobi Wyss who is somewhat of a legend in these parts. Heliskiing truly is a sport and a career for all!

Happy New Year from all of us at CMH Heli-Skiing. From our 11 Heli-Ski lodges to our office in Banff and our team at the Calgary Airport, we hope that 2011 is filled with deep powder, cold champagne and good friends.
