Mica Heliskiing has announced the opening of another 3700 acres (1500 hectares) of new ski terrain within their 250,000 acre operating area.
Mica Heliskiing’s 2010 guests will have the opportunity to make first-descents in some of the best tree skiing on the planet! “Mica Heliskiing is very excited to provide this season’s guests with a number of classic, new ski lines”, says Paul Norrie, President of Mica Heliskiing. “The combined size of these ski runs is larger than most ski resorts and offers beautiful, naturally gladed, steep tree skiing. Our guests are going to be thrilled!”
“One circling gaze from the top of a run near 11,000-foot Mt. Clemenceau unviels elements of the Swiss Alps, Alaska, the Coast Range and Himalayas – in short, ski terrain that blows the doors off anything else, anywhere else.”

Their terrain is definitely a major factor in what makes Mica Heliskiing so special! Mother Nature has blessed the region with natural steep fall-line tree runs, countless pillow lines, dramatic alpine ridges and bowls and endless glacier runs. With eight distinct main valleys and runs between 600 and 1800 vertical meters (1900 – 5900 feet), there’s something for everyone!
Mica Heliskiing’s tenure encompasses approximately 72,000 hectares on the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. This spectacular area lies precisely where the moisture laden air from the Pacific Ocean collides with the cooler, dryer arctic air mass of the Canadian Rockies ice fields. The result is consistently deep, dry powder from early December through the end of April, with between 13 – 20 meters (42 – 66 feet) of annual snowfall!
Mica Heli Skiing near Revelstoke, B.C. is 100% small group heliskiing, one of three operations in The Island Lake Resort Group; the others being Powder Cowboy Catskiing and Island Lake Lodge near Fernie BC. For more information contact Darryn Shewchuk at 1.877.837.6191 x2002.
