New trip

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 will 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.

Is a Powder Performance trip for you? It's a great option if you’ve been heli-skiing before and want to:

• Improve your powder skiing rhythm, flow, and technique
• Feel more confident in a variety of snow conditions
• Learn how to read, anticipate, and navigate different types of terrain
• Learn how to break bad or limiting skiing habits and refine helpful ones
• Understand how to be more efficient with your movements and ski technique so you can conserve energy, stay safe, and increase your enjoyment while skiing.

Powder Performance is the perfect next step if you have a goal to visit a more advanced CMH destination, but you aren’t yet ready; if you’ve already been on a CMH Powder Intro trip; or if you’re simply interested in growing new skills and improving your skiing. 

What to expect

You’ll be in groups of up to 10 guests, plus 2 guides who are well-versed in ski instruction. You’ll heli-ski just like any other Signature Trip, but you can expect a dynamic, relaxed pace, and a supportive learning environment. As you descend, you’ll have the opportunity to stop more frequently to receive feedback, learn, and practice your new skills. The groups may be split at times to allow the more experienced group members to excel at a faster skiing pace or in more challenging terrain features. Back at the lodge, you’ll review video footage of yourself skiing and receive key takeaways to work on the next day.
