ski and snowboarding Abilities

Something for Everyone
Our terrain is so varied - we have something for everyone. Being a daily heliski/board service you can join us for just one day or for as many days as you choose. Be prepared, we know from experience that one day is not always enough!

First Time Heliskiers/boarders
We offer packages to suit a variety of budgets and various skiing desires. If you are an avid skier/snowboarder let our knowledge and experience provide you with an experience you have to try at least once in a lifetime.

Intermediate Skiers
We welcome intermediate skiers from around the world every year. Our massive backcountry offers many opportunities to provide variety and challenge those who seek it. Different skiers have different needs, some to move fast and maximize the adrenaline thrills, while others prefer a slower pace to soak up the beauty around them. When you book it's a good idea to let us know your preference. Generally we classify intermediate skiers as those who can ski blue runs at a ski hill and confidently link turns, falling occasionally. May not have previous powder experience.

Advanced & Expert Skiers
We have terrain to suit all abilities. Each day we divide groups up by ability and ski the terrain to suit their pace. With our advanced and expert skiers we tend to move quickly and tackle more aggressive slopes as conditions allow, and our small groups mean less waiting time and more skiing/riding.

Generally we will ski at least 6 runs with more advanced skiers/boarders and often go out as private groups to maximize both the vertical and number of runs possible in one day. Generally we classify advanced/expert skiers as those who can ski black runs at a ski hill and have previous powder experience, linking turns is not a problem. If you are a confident intermediate skier or better, then you can heliski. The use of powder skis greatly enhances the experience making turns graceful and fun as you carve up virgin slopes of fresh powder.

For most first-timers we recommend the 4 run package with the option of additional runs if you feel the need to keep going. If you've thought of trying heliskiing or heliboarding for the first time, now is the time to try. Our small groups make it easy with the personal attention of a guide should you feel you need it! At CRH we welcome many first timers, and they often become a "regular" in the Ultimate Backcountry Experience. Come and be part of the family!
