You're standing on the roof of the world, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. The views of the Rockies, plus the Monashees and Selkirks on the horizon are absolutely breathtaking. A million acres of deep, dry, Rocky Mountains powder lie beneath your feet and all around - waiting for just you, your three companions and your guide.

Floating in waist-deep powder, you ride down a sea of pure virgin snow, grinning from ear to ear. A thousand metres down and you're in the trees. Riding in the trees the snow is just as deep, sheltered from wind or sun - unbelievable! Another thousand metres – and you spot your helicopter sitting in the snow, waiting to fly your small group to yet another run in boarding paradise.

Mica Heliskiing caters to snowboarders. Mica Heliskiing's lead guide, Craig Ellis, is an expert boarder and knows how to choose lines ideally suited for heli-boarders.
