Of all the characteristics that define modern life, electricity sure is a big one. When we head into the backcountry to do a bit of heli skiing, part of the allure is leaving some of those electric devices behind. However, there are certain devices that make the backcountry more fun, and safer. For that purpose, the Nomad 7M from Goal0 is the newest tool in the backcountry enthusiast’s arsenal. The device is an ultra compact solar panel with a USB and 12 Volt charger built in. Weighing just 13 ounces and sturdy enough to go with you all over the mountain, lovers of the unrestricted terrain and powder of the backcountry can now keep all their devices powered throughout the day. Now you can keep your GPS device, music player, phone, and anything else ready and waiting for when you need it.

Goal0 originally started out as a way to provide power to places and people that had no other option. The company has grown from its philanthropic roots into the premier provider of compact power solutions to anyone that needs it. While some of Goal0's solutions are more suitable for film makers and others that need lots of power in the backcountry, the Nomad 7M is perfect for anyone.

Speaking of backcountry, there is no better place to go off the main grid than our tenure here at Mica Heli Guides. Heliskiing and heliboarding are the most exciting ways to carve up the big mountains here in British Columbia, and we're proud to say that it doesn't get bigger or deeper than right here at Mica. Staggeringly big, coming in at 72,000 hectares, our tenure is as varied as it is epic. We've become one of the favorite destinations for ski film crews, professionals, and enthusiasts alike, which is why our tours always fill up fast. If you're ready to head into the beautiful backcountry this season, book soon before space runs out.
