Thanks a Million | 2022/23 | Stories - CMH Heli-Skiing & Summer Adventures

May 18, 2023

With the close of the 2022/23 heli-skiing season, let’s take a moment to pause and celebrate all our guests who joined the CMH Million Footer family this season, and those who reached multi-million benchmarks. You are amazing.

This season we saw 84 guests hit their first official Million Footer moment. Another 82 skiers and riders passed milestones of between two to nine million vertical feet, and an exclusive crew of seven others reached 10-15 million vertical feet.

A special shout-out to longtime guest Andy Epstein, who crossed the staggering 23 million mark while skiing at the Bobbie Burns!

What’s a Million Footer?

We recognize our dedicated guests who hit a major milestone with the total vertical amounts they’ve skied or ridden. You officially become a CMH Million Footer when you’ve heli-skied 1 million vertical feet. Each million-foot tally you hit after that is also celebrated.

Congratulations to:
