Next week, October 14th-17th, Toronto will play host to its annual Ski, Snowboard, and Travel Show. The event is billed as North America's largest snow sports expo event. The show will feature more than 200 exhibitors, including over 125 resort operators. One of those 125 will be us here at Mica Heli Guides. We always look forward to the expo. It’s a great way to get ready for winter, and the excitement that fills the arena is overwhelming at times. We'll be giving away DVD's and stickers, but if you're in the area make sure to stop by and enter to win a trip to visit us here on the western slopes of the Canadian Rockies in beautiful British Columbia.

We'll be telling visitors all about our crazy terrain and ridiculous amounts of deep, dry powder. At over 177,000 acres, helicopter skiing was made for a mountain paradise like ours. Heli skiing and heli boarding are great ways to enjoy the unrestricted glory of the backcountry. The resorts are fun, and have their place in the ski world, but nothing beats the feeling of cruising through our endless old growth forest or charging lines that put the big in big mountain.

Providing our guests with world-class service is a top priority at Mica, and from the second our helicopter whisks you away from the staging area on its way to our backcountry lodge, you'll be enjoying the best heliskiing around. Don't worry though, just because our lodge is only accessible by helicopter doesn't mean it's not without all the comforts of modern life. Perched high above the breathe-taking Kinbasket Lake, a stay at our lodge is worth it all by itself. If you're ready to head into the backcountry this year, look no further than Mica and book one of our small group tours now.
