March 07, 2009 - Heli assisted touring is a combination of heliskiing and ski touring. "For someone who likes to climb but also wants to bang off the turns, Mica Heli Guides is a dream come true! Every morning the chopper provides virtually instant access to magnificent terrain and stunning scenery. Can it get any better than starting your day with a 3500 foot dream descent, then slowing it down by skinning back up, taking another run and then calling in the chopper to do it all again? The Mica experience uniquely combines the rush of powder skiing with the serenity and awe of touring", says Steve Greenburg a return heli touring guest at Mica Heli Guides.
Mica Heli Guides introduced a heli-assisted touring program in December 2007.
Demand grew quickly for what has become the ultimate ski touring experience and the program is now a regular part of the exclusive small group programs offered at Mica Heli Guides. “We are excited that Ski Canada has recognized this new and unique program” says Paul Norrie, Mountain Guide and President of Mica Heli Guides.
“For just over half the price of heli-skiing our heli-touring guests have quick and easy access to the best snow and world class ski terrain daily, without requiring a long approach or exit at the beginning and end of the day. After touring, with tired and happy legs, the heli takes you back to the luxurious Mica lodge where a hot tub, a massage and a gourmet meal awaits. ”
Mica Heli Skiing near Revelstoke, B.C. is one of three operations in the Island Lake Resort Group; the others being Powder Cowboy Catskiing and Island Lake Lodge near Fernie B.C. For more information on heli assisted touring or small group heliskiing contact Darryn Shewchuk at 1.877.837.6191 x2002.
