Signature Trips

Classic heli-skiing

Embrace the camaraderie of the backcountry

Experience the classic heli-skiing trip CMH was built on. Glide across glaciers and float through remote glades with the company of up to 10 other soon-to-be best friends who ski and ride at your level.

Friendships built on fresh tracks

There’s a reason why this is our trademark experience. Signature Trips are offered at almost every lodge in the CMH family, which means there’s something for everyone’s terrain preference and style of skiing. From laidback town-side hangouts to remote backcountry luxury, you’ll have plenty of places to dry your boots, rest your legs and make new friends over cold drinks, hearty meals and hot tubs. 

With up to 11 guests and typically one guide per group, Signature Trips are one of the best bang-for-your-buck options. If you’re flying solo or coming with a partner or a few friends, these are a great way to meet plenty of kindred powder hounds to hang out with. You may arrive as strangers, but you’ll leave as mountain family.
 

Group Size

Customized groups of up to

11 guests + 1 guide

On a typical Signature Trip at CMH, you’ll get to ski or ride in personalized groups of just 11 guests or less, plus 1 guide. When you think about sharing resort groomers with up to 20,000 skiers on any given Saturday, either option is a magic number.

Skiable Terrain

CMH has exclusive access to:

3,000,000 acres

CMH's total terrain is bigger than all North American ski areas put together. That’s not a typo. Our exclusive three-million-acre territory is 20x larger than all the combined chairlift skiing on the continent. Woah. It would likely take several years to ski all our runs more than once — but we’re happy to help you try. Just throwin’ the challenge out there.

Average vertical

On an average 7-day trip, expect to ski & ride up to:

30,500m / 100,000 ft

On a 7-day CMH Signature Trip, you'll log around 100,000 vertical feet of skiing and riding, which is approximately 45 heli rides worth of “Yewwwwww!” (This amount will vary based on trip length, run length, group dynamics, weather, etc.) Fun fact: to log the same amount of vertical at a resort, you’d have to spend 6-7 hours in a lift line and take double the number of chairlift rides. Heli, please.
