Arrival

A MHG staff member will be at our transfer area upon your arrival, which must be by 4:00 pm the day prior to the first ski/board day. The transfer area is the first parking lot on the left just past the Mica Dam (when traveling North on Hyw 23). Guests will enjoy a welcoming reception that evening.

Check in Day

MHG staff will run through the daily schedule and become acquainted with you and your skiing/boarding abilities. The more MHG knows about your abilities, the better we can customize your heli vacation to maximize your heli experience.

Skiing Days

The first day your guide will instruct you in the use and care of the transceiver. You will meet your pilot and go through a safety briefing. After breakfast, one of our guides will brief you on the day's weather and snow conditions. A hearty lunch will be enjoyed on a mountain summit. All guests & guides will dine together for supper.

Departure

We ask that you be packed the morning you are scheduled to leave. Departure from the lodge is approximately 3:30 pm.
