Mon, Jan 18, 2010

Heli-skiing in British Columbia just got more exhilarating, with new Small Group Heli Ski programs opening up at the Monashee, Adamants, and Bobbie Burns locations of CMH Heli-Skiing. CMH has long offered small group options from their Kootenay base, and new for 2010 and 2011 CMH is now offering small group heli-skiing programs from three additional backcountry lodges.

CMH small group heli-ski trips utilize a six-seater Bell 407 Alpine helicopter so three groups of five skiers, along with their respective guides, can each access the epic, deep-powder ski terrain of the Monashee, Selkirk, and Purcell Ranges in British Columbia.

Heli Ski Vacations on the rise in Queenstown’s expanding Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopter base

Fri, Oct 02, 2009

Winter is in full swing in Queenstown as the 35th Annual American Express Winterfest draws to a close. To make the most of the winter season Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopter recently extended their Queenstown base, creating increased hanger space, engineering work space and a new reception and greeting area.

The end of June saw the arrival of a brand new Eurocopter to the fleet, bringing them to a total of 3 seven seater aircrafts and a 5 seater aircraft enabling them to cater for exclusive private charters for two – to larger group excursions and transfers. The extensions made to both the Helicopter base and the fleet itself will enable Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters to better serve the scenic flight and heliski markets.

“Our fleet out grew the hanger so we had to re model, we are looking forward to the arrival of the new Eurocopter, it is a powerful machine designed specifically for lifting heavy loads and will be a great asset for this upcoming Heliski season.” Check out Glacier Southern Lakes Helicopters at www.heli-flights.co.nz
