Spend the holidays with your favourite person—and a helicopter

This holiday season, go beyond your in-laws’ living room. Way beyond. 

With the Farmers’ Almanac calling for a classic Canadian winter, with deep snow hitting high elevations in British Columbia, this is the year to escape the hectic hustle of Christmas and New Years and retreat to a heli-skiing haven in the middle of nowhere.

1. First tracks fervor 

Think of December heli-skiing trips as the ultimate rope drop. You know the type we’re talking about—the one on a deep powder day, legs are fresh, stoke is high, and everyone is brimming with anticipation of bagging first tracks.

The energy is palpable, the snow is untouched and you’re standing next to your person. It feels like being let in on a secret before the world catches on.

2. Holidays, without the hustle

No cooking. No organizing. No social obligations. Here, your only obligation is to soak in every moment (and powder-filled turn.) The holidays are about reconnecting, not racing around. You ski and ride all day, then make your retreat to our cozy lodge for evenings of exceptional food and no expectations. It’s a pressure-free, goggle-grinning version of the holidays.

3. Terrain for the two of you

One of you charging, one of you cruising? No problem. CMH trips are designed to suit a range of ski and snowboard abilities, and our guides group guests accordingly. Whether you’re here to send or simply soak it all in, you’ll both get what you came for. And there’ll be plenty to share over après.

Got questions about terrain? Or which lodge would be the best fit for you two? Talk to one of our trip experts for answers to all (and we do mean all) of your questions.

4. December delivers

December often gets overlooked—but savvy travellers know better. The value is strong, the snow is deep, and the vibe is electric. It’s a perfect storm for couples looking for a holiday that’s intimate, unique, and still delivers the signature CMH powder experience. And should one of those fabled early season storms roll through, you’ll be in luck.

5. Together, without the to‑do list

We all crave connection. So toss out the calendar and mute your notifications. Spending time together creates physical and mental well-being. Not to mention the overall benefit on mind, body and soul of spending time in the great outdoors, doing something you love with the person you love most. We’re not doctors, but we confidently prescribe a heli-skiing trip to ring in the new year.

Let it snow (and then go skiing)

You don’t need another gift guide. You need time. Time to be somewhere beautiful, to arc fresh turns together, to be taken care of. With a holiday heli-skiing trip, you’ll find that time in every turn, every shared laugh, and every powder-filled day you didn’t have to plan. This holiday, choose each other (and the mountains, of course.)
