Mica Heliskiing was rated as "the best once in a lifetime experience" by Good Connoisseur Magazine and more than 90% of our guests rate Mica Heliskiing as the best skiing or boarding they have had. These ratings are based on our standard semi-private heliskiing tours with three groups of four guests each with one guide and all sharing one A-Star Helicopter.

New for 2009! - Two Groups of Eight - Semi Private Tour
At Mica we pride ourselves in tailoring our program to the requests of our guests. Last season several of our guests requested booking the lodge as a private group of 16, and utilizing two helicopters.
So for 2009 we are formally introducing our new Two Groups of Eight Program – two groups of four guests plus their guides with two A-Star helicopters all based on helicopter time. If big vertical and small groups is your thing then the two groups of eight or our full Private heliskiing tours are for you.

What makes Mica Heliskiing the most incredible skiing and riding on the planet?
Small Groups: At Mica Heliskiing we only run three or four “semi-private” groups of four in the A-Star helicopter and one “private” group of four in a second A-Star – just you, three friends, your guide and a million acres all to yourselves! By Skiing or riding in small groups you can ski or board in a much wider variety of terrain, tailored to what your individual group desires, beginner to expert. No waiting, no jockeying for first tracks, we take you to the goods!
The Skiing: The high elevation of the lodge only a one minute flight from world class tree skiing means its rare for us to ever have a weather related down days primarily due to the high elevation and location of Mica Lodge putting us above the low cloud and freezing rain that grounds helicopters at other operations. For 2008 we have purchased a Snowcat in the event that the conditions prevent flying.
Terrain: What makes Mica Heliskiing unique is the variety in our vast terrain. We have over a million acres of Alaskan style peaks, giant alpine bowls, runs up to 2300 meters (7500 feet), endless steep tree skiing and the worlds best pillow runs. From beginner to expert our tenure has the perfect terrain for every level of skier or boarder and we will gladly take you there. The mountains on the west side of the Rockies are where heli skiing was invented. Today it is heli ski alley with more heli skiers each winter than everywhere else on earth combined. The reason…deep dry snow!
Snow: The Western slope of the BC Rockies is a powder making machine. The area is the farthest inland rain forest in the world receiving 13-20 meters (40-60 feet) of snow annually. Mica Heliskiing is located right where the moist storms from the West collide with the cold Arctic air from northern Alberta. The result is consistent deep dry powder from November to May, with better snow quality in warm weather cycles e.g. we weren’t negatively affected by the January 05 rains. By December 1st our base is over 3 meters, by the end of April our base is over 4 meters and still dry powder on our north aspect alpine runs!
Lodging: Accessible only by helicopter the beautiful Mica lodge and new delux chalet are perched at 4000 feet over looking the Monashee, Selkirk and Rocky mountains. Our private lodges have one of the most spectacular views you’ll find anywhere. Mica lodge has 7 bedrooms with full baths and sleeps up to 12 guests. The new chalet has 4 extra large deluxe rooms each with its own fireplace (double or single occupancy). Our backcountry lodges have all the luxuries: heated stone floors, river stone fireplace, hot tubs, massage, telephone, wireless internet, Satellite TV and a Chef preparing fabulous meals.
Bottom Line: Heli Skiing or Boarding in small groups, skiing the terrain you desire with minimal down days and staying in your own private lodge makes for the ultimate heli experience.
Small Groups, vast incredible terrain, deep dry snow – it just doesn’t get any better than Mica Heliskiing!
