Thanks a Million 2016-17

As our founder Hans Gmoser once said, “A person should have wings to carry them where their dreams go, but sometimes a pair of skis makes a good substitute,” and the following list of people take that phrase to heart. When a Million Foot milestone is reached at CMH, a custom two-piece Arc’teryx suit is awarded as well as a certificate, a pin, and a bottle of champagne to share with the lucky comrades in your group. The suit is considered a badge of honour by many. In fact, some guests have obtained several suits over the years since the Million Foot Award Program was introduced in 1971.

This year, many of our amazing guests reached Million Foot milestones – from their first million all the way up to 19. A special shout out to Steve Kruse who, for the second year in a row, skied over a million feet in a single season to hit his 8 million milestone! Congratulations and thank you to all for your passion and dedication to Heli-Skiing.

It’s our privilege to congratulate and say thank you to all of the 2016/2017 season Million Footers.
