Squeeze your eyes shut and imagine a holiday season without cooking. Or dishes. Woah, right? And we didn’t even mention the whole ‘guided heli-skiing together through some of Canada’s most storyworthy vistas’ part. Or the, ahem, distinct lack of screens.
At CMH, the holiday season looks just a little bit different. Here’s why it might be just the thing for you and your family.
1. The all-time atmosphere around the holiday season
You don’t get a more idyllic winter scene than a snow-covered, log-hewn lodge deep in the wilds of British Columbia. Combine that with a crackling fireplace, twinkling lights and fine company, and you’ve got yourself an unparalleled recipe for postcard-worthy pictures and a festive good time. Talk about ringing in the new year in style, hey?
“The atmosphere at the lodges is always extra special at that time of year,” says Erin Teunissen, Hospitality Development Manager for CMH. “Especially when it snows, it feels like you’re in a real-life snow globe.”
2. First tracks as a family
First tracks are special. There’s no getting around it. But what if you and yours got to lay fresh tracks down every day without scrambling for parking and fighting through liftline chaos?

Scrap all that and lean into deep snow, sharing ‘firsts’ with the people that matter most.
3. Connection comes naturally here
Our lodges are built for gathering. Whether it’s letting out a few belly laughs over dinner, sharing hot chocolate in the lounge or swapping ski stories in the hot tub, these spaces invite you to slow right down and truly connect.

When you and your family are tucked away in the mountains, the rest of the world feels oh so far away. And that’s a good thing.
4. Terrain for every skier and rider
We’ve got a lot of terrain. Twenty times more than all the chairlift skiing on the continent, as it happens. That means there will be terrain that all the skiers and riders in your family can feel comfortable and confident on.
And if you have any questions about terrain, snow or even how heli-skiing trips work, just talk to one of our trip experts for all the answers you and your family might need.
5. Peak value
It’s true. Heli-skiing in December offers some of the best-value heli-skiing of the entire season. We’re talking about making your dream turns at the best price possible.
Mid-season trips tend to book out far in advance, but there are typically some gems available in December. And when a surprise storm rolls through—as they often do in December—you’ll be glad you got in early.
6. We’ll do the hosting—you just show up
Remember when we said no dishes? We meant it.
Leave the feasts to our team of professional chefs and don’t let yourself so much as think about doing the dishes this holiday season.
Our food is as famous as our heli-skiing, and for good reason. We’ll create beautiful flavours to sate both your tastebuds and your empty ski legs. Afterwards, all you need to do is make your way from the dining table to a cozy fireside seat to kick back with a drink.

A home (away from home) for the holiday season
The most meaningful holidays aren’t built around things. They’re built around time. Time to play, to connect, to be together. At CMH, it’s not just a family ski trip. It’s shared memories, made deep in the mountains, that get better with every turn.
