A preview of next winter’s trips (we’re talking Winter 2026/27) just dropped and will be open to book starting on November 12.

Here’s a roundup of everything we’re excited about, starting in December 2026.

More options for our most flexible, customizable trips

In response to increased demand, we’re adding more dates and trip lengths across other CMH destinations for two of our highly flexible trip types: Small Group, and Private trips.

These trips let you paint outside the lines of our standard options with something more adaptable to your needs, in a range of budget options. Stay nimble and ski or ride with your friends or others who are your pace, on dates that work with your schedule.​

Private trips are one of our most exclusive choices. Bring yourself and up to four other people; you’’ll be in a smaller helicopter that’s all yours, with a private guide. This setup gives you the ultimate flexibility to ski with who you want, at the pace you want, where you want.

If your budget doesn’t yet match your desire to experience Private heli-skiing, there’s another option that still delivers many of the perks of a Private. We’ll let you in on the secret: it’s opting for Small Group.

On a Small Group trip, you’ll be matched into a small group (duh) with a tight-knit crew of up to five people that travel at the same pace, letting you move fluidly and efficiently. Or, if you bring enough friends to fill a group and they ski and ride at the same ability, you’ll likely get to ski and ride together (ie: similar to a Private Trip). This really depends on ability and pace and is ultimately the guide’s decision, but for the right group, it works well.

Either way you slice it, small groups make it easier to keep things moving and maximize your powder time. Build your dream sequence with either of these options.

CMH Monashees to offer Small Group and Private trips exclusively

Speaking of Small Group, big news from CMH Monashees, one of our most expert destinations: beginning December 2026, the ‘Mo is making the switch to offering Small Group and Private trips exclusively. Yew!

This change is going to create a highly intimate, high-performance and nimble heli-skiing experience. It’s ideal for smaller groups of skilled skiers and riders who crave a fast, flexible pace, and broader access to expert-only terrain.

The group configuration will be three groups of up to five skiers each, in a Bell 407 helicopter. There will be two sets of groups, totalling around 30 people per trip who will be exclusively skiing and riding the Small Group program. Private Trips will continue to operate alongside the Small Group program.

All-new, All-Women’s Signature trips

This season and next, we’re continuing to expand our roster of heli-skiing trips just for women. We’ve been offering women’s Powder Intro trips for several years, and the response has been huge.

We’ve also heard demand from women whose skillset is already beyond the Powder Intro level, but who still want to ski or ride in a group with other ladies who appreciate getting to unleash their turns in a supportive environment.

So, we’ve introduced more dates with Signature Trips at CMH Revelstoke, Gothics, and Bobbie Burns for women who want to charge harder and experience more challenging terrain.

Signature Trips are our core heli-skiing experience, and our most popular for good reason. Come solo or bring your besties; you’ll be in groups of up to 11 people, led by a certified guide. Share fresh tracks with built-in friends and embrace the camaraderie of the backcountry.

Pssst…right now for a limited time you can enter for the chance to win a trip for two on an All-Women’s Signature Trip at CMH Gothics, plus Ikon Passes and an incredible gear haul.

More opportunities to develop your powder skills

If you’ve been heli-skiing before and want to improve your powder skills, we’ve added extra dates for Powder Performance trips at CMH Revelstoke, Bugaboos, and Cariboos.

These 5- and 7-day trips are for guests who want to boost their skills and become more efficient all-mountain powder skiers. They are instruction-based and focus on offering tips, tricks, guidance, and video reviews of your technique to help you progress. Whether you’ve heli-skied only a few times or have been coming for years, these trips are intended to help you reach a new level of confidence and skill.
