The story of CMH, from Hans Gmoser and the Bugaboos’ granite spires to the tales of today, was recently featured in NAVIS.
“In April 1965, placing a group of skiers at the top of a run in British Columbia’s Bugaboos could take almost an hour. The Bell helicopter had only two passenger seats, so pilot Jim Davies carried the guests upward in stages while mountain guide Hans Gmoser organized them on the snow. On the first ski day, a rack attached to the helicopter’s landing gear came loose and had to be recovered and repaired. Then they continued.
NAVIS is a publication dedicated to the design of yachts, sailboats and the lifestyle around them. This edition dug deep on winter experiences and adventures not to be missed, so it was an honour to be included.
