About CMH Heli-Skiing & Summer Adventures
CMH (Canadian Mountain Holidays) is the pioneer of heli-skiing and the most established backcountry operator in the Golden region, with its Bobbie Burns and Bugaboos lodges accessed via a private helipad north of town. Founded in the 1960s, CMH effectively invented the sport of helicopter skiing and today operates across millions of acres of exclusive mountain terrain in the Purcell and Selkirk ranges surrounding Golden.
In winter, multi-day heli-skiing packages drop small guided groups into untouched alpine powder far beyond the reach of any lift, with expert guides, safety training and remote wilderness lodges that handle every detail. Come summer the same helicopters serve a celebrated heli-hiking and mountaineering program, lifting guests to high alpine meadows, glaciers and ridgelines for guided walks, via ferrata and climbing — an accessible way to experience terrain that would otherwise take days to reach on foot.
CMH's decades of mountain experience, world-class guiding and all-inclusive lodge-based model set the benchmark for premium backcountry adventure in the Canadian Rockies. For travellers using Golden as a launch point into truly remote terrain, whether chasing deep winter powder or summer high-alpine hikes, CMH delivers a bucket-list experience with safety and logistics handled end to end.
