Mica Heliskiing provides 100 percent small-group heliskiing and heliboarding (snow boarding). When you book your trip with Mica Heliskiing you ski or board in a group of four guests plus one guide in an A-Star helicopter, the industry standard for private tours. Fast and highly mobile, your small group can heliski or heliboard a wider variety of terrain tailored to your desires (conditions and ability permitting). We have 72,000 hectares (close to 178,000 acres) of Canadian heli skiing and heliboarding terrain, all for you and three companions!

Tour Package Details

Accessible only by helicopter, Mica backcountry lodges include our main Mica lodge and a new deluxe chalet. The two lodges have a combined maximum capacity of 16 guests. The number of guests is based on private and semi private tours. While the A-Star helicopter can easily manage up to four groups, we only ski three groups of four guests creating a semi private group heliskiing experience when you book as a group of four, eight or twelve. In response to several group requests, for 2008 we’ve introduced the option to ski as four individual groups of four skiers plus a guide. This option applies to group bookings only. A private tour will have use of a second helicopter.

Mica Heliskiing runs tour packages for three, four, six and seven days. Our operating season starts Dec 15th and ends April 26th. High season is Jan 12-March 28th 2008.

Ability Levels

Mica Heliskiing guests should be confident, intermediate to advanced level skiers/snowboarders in good physical condition. All guests should be aware that our Canadian heli skiing terrain is remote. For those new to this experience, we recommend using our powder skis to ease your transition into backcountry technique.

Weather & Snow Conditions

Skiing/Riding at Mica Heliskiing is excellent most of the time, but when it comes to Mother Nature, there is no guarantee. Guests should come prepared to ski/ride a variety of back country snow conditions and dress for temperatures from 0 C to -25 C (32 F to -10 F).

Amenities and Communication

With an outdoor hot tub and trained massage therapists, Mica Heliskiing will help you unwind after a day on the mountain. For those looking for even more exercise after a full day of incredible Canadian heli skiing, there are a few pairs of snowshoes available on a first come first serve basis.

At Mica Lodge we use wireless satellite Internet as our primary means of communication to the outside world. We do have a dedicated guest phone in the lodge and the chalet. However, there are no phones in individual rooms or jacks for computer hook-ups. In the case of an emergency, we also do have access to a radiophone system and/or satellite phone.

Menu Plan

Packages include all meals prepared by our world class Chefs. Being a set meal plan, it is very important for guests to inform us of any dietary restrictions or allergies well in advance of their arrival. Mica Heliskiing will make every effort to accommodate your dietary needs. We stock a variety of wine, beer and liquor. If you have a particular product request, please advise our reservations staff and we will do our best to accommodate.
