CMH Bugaboos

From the high alpine to the valley below and back up again - The place where it all started! The Bugaboos is the most established heli-ski areas and has plenty ski runs both above and below the tree line.

Add CMH Bugaboos to BrochureBuilder

Known as the most established of all the CMH area's and the birthplace for CMH heli-skiing, The Bugaboos provide heli-skiers with a truly memorable experience.

Characterized by mighty granite spires, the Bugaboo Mountains offer immense variety in terrain, with plentiful ski runs both above and below tree line. Despite the draw of these world-renowned mountains, Bugaboo Lodge remains the sole base for skiing among these majestic peaks and glaciers.

The Bugaboo's are both a dramatic and inspiring mountain range. These mountains are stupendous and incomparable with so few visitors you will feel as if you have the world at your feet (or skis!). 

Skier Level: Strong intermediate or advanced skiers with experience skiing in powder, snowboarders need to be very strong riders.

What a Week - Heli Sking in the Bugaboos

Written by Andrew a Skier from Melbourne, Australia
19/3/2013

If you want to change your ski life, this was the the week. Fresh snow in the Bugaboos - lots of fresh snow - Skiing up high on the glaciers, surrounded by the jagged Bugaboo peaks. Ripping through the trees with powder flying over your face. Words just not explain the the experience  - you have to go and do it for yourself.

CHM-Heli Skiing - Should Have Done this Sooner!

Written by Paul a Skier from Sydney, Australia
30/4/2012

In years of travel around the world and lots of resort skiing, this was the best trip I've ever had.

I''m not someone that tends to overstate things but thw whole trip was outstanding: location, food, lodge staff, food and particularly the guides. This was an adventure that I've been reliving ever since we got back.

You do not need to be an expert skier to realy enjoy this: fitness and confidence is far more important. If you've ever even considered heli-skiing...then do it.

First Time Heli-Skiing

Written by Trevor a Skier from Brisbane, Australia
29/2/2012

The Bugaboos provided fantastic deep and light powder that permanantly spoils you compared to normal resort skiing. 

Think of the best resort powder day you have had in your life and multiply it by 7 - every day, untracked and as steep and deep as you can go.  At night 5 star recovery.  It is intoxicating. 

Be prepared to want to do it again.
