Kootenay

CMH Kootenay is all about heli-skiing. With two mountain ranges and endless valleys of perfectly spaced trees and open bowls, it’s a skier’s paradise. We are blessed with abundant snowfall and have so much terrain, we never run out of fresh slopes to ride.
Kootenay offers flexible trip dates and convenient travel options, ideal for strong skiers heli-skiing or for those with limited time off. Our guides are experts at choosing terrain, and while we usually stay out all day, taking a break is always an option.
Guests stay in the Tenderfoot Lodge in downtown Nakusp, on the shores of Arrow Lake, south of Revelstoke. The lodge is owned and operated by CMH. We access our ski areas from several staging points, using vans to transport guests to the helicopters.

Hard-core skiers and riders should consider our Powder Max program, offered at Kootenay throughout the ski season. These Kootenay trips are based on the use of one Bell 407 Helicopter with a capacity of 15 guests (3 groups of 5 skiers each).
