Heliskiing Turns 50
Powder Magazine Honours the History of Heliskiing in Canada
50 years ago in the winter of 64/65 an adventurer by the name of Hans Gmoser started a movement that would spark backcountry tourism, gear development and even give birth to catskiing a few years later. He started Canadian Mountain Holidays, know to most as CMH. CMH now has a dozen lodges sprinkled around BC and is now accompanied by another 18 heliski operations.
Powder Magazine has put together a little tribute to the dawn of heliskiing. Check out the galleries and stories on www.powder.com
