Anne has helped me plan progressively larger trips since we started, from two people to multiple groups and a full lodge buyout. From advising on timing and securing peak-season slots to managing roster changes and varying abilities, her insight and responsiveness remove all the stress of the booking process.

For five years running, I've worked with Anne to plan an annual CMH trip for the CEO I support, and every year the result is the same: guests call it the trip of a lifetime. She doesn't just book a trip. She builds an experience.

Anne's knowledge of the CMH operations has been incredibly helpful year in and year out. As a resident of California, knowing the ins and outs of Canadian heli-skiing is not intuitive. I would not hesitate to recommend Anne as a main contact for any heli-ski or backcountry ski trip. She is a wealth of insider information.

New to Canadian heli-skiing?
Start with my California skier's guide.
I put together a short guide for California skiers and riders thinking about their first CMH trip: how it works, what it costs, how to prepare, and how to choose the right first lodge. Tell me where to send it.
Upcoming Events
I host events around California through the fall, from casual meetups to trip-planning sessions. It's the easiest way to ask questions in person before you commit.
See upcoming eventsQuestions, answered honestly.
The things people ask me most, before they plan their first trip and their tenth. If yours isn't here, just ask. I answer every message myself.
What is heli-skiing?
Heli-skiing is backcountry skiing or snowboarding where a helicopter, instead of a chairlift, takes you to untouched mountain terrain to ski fresh powder. With CMH it's a multi-day, lodge-based trip: you ski with guides by day and return to a full-service lodge each night.
How does heli-skiing work?
You ski in small groups with certified guides while the helicopter repositions you across the terrain through the day. Each morning starts with a safety briefing, the guides choose runs to match your group, and you ski run after run of untracked snow. Evenings are spent at the lodge.
How much does a heli-ski trip cost?
It's a premium trip, and the price depends on the lodge, the program, the length of the trip, and the season. Tell me what you're considering and I'll give you accurate, current pricing and help you find the best value for your dates. If you have an Ikon Pass, your credits can apply.
Does it cost extra to book through you?
No. Working with me costs you nothing extra. As CMH's California representative, the price is identical to booking direct. You simply get a knowledgeable person on the inside, working for you the whole way.
Is heli-skiing safe?
It happens in the backcountry, so it carries real risks that resort skiing doesn't, and CMH manages them with certified guides, mandatory safety training, provided avalanche gear, and decades of snow science. Guides choose terrain to match the group and conditions all day. I'm always glad to walk you through how safety works before you decide.
When is the best time to heli-ski?
The British Columbia season generally runs December into April, with deep midwinter powder and longer, sunnier days toward spring. Early season and spring can offer better value, while peak midwinter weeks book up first. I'll help you choose the timing that fits.
Summer Heli-hiking Guests
Individuals to groups who want to experience the sublime beauty of British Columbia without the crowds. This includes heli-ski guests who want their non-skiing family and friends to experience CMH, as well as people who love hiking, via ferratas, adventure and nature.
