Mica Heli Guides Awarded ‘Best Heliskiing’ by SKIING Magazine.

Revelstoke, B.C. Canada. SKIING Magazine awards Mica Heli Guides ‘Best Heliskiing’ in their 2011 annual Resort Guide.

“The award for best heliskiing was based on ski product and program, overall guest experience and industry feedback” said Kelley McMillan, Associate Editor of SKIING Magazine.

Mica Heliskiing began operations in 2003 with boutique style, small group heliskiing near the town of Mica Creek where deep champagne powder snow is legendary. “It’s a rare combination of several factors that together produce what we like to call the Mica Magic” says Paul Norrie, Mica Heliskiing’s President. “We combine our natural advantage with the industry’s highest quality programs and resources.   Mother Nature provides us with over a quarter million acres of perfectly spaced trees and stunning alpine terrain, world-class powder snow and unique weather patterns that result in very few no-fly days!  We then add custom-tailored programs for a maximum of 16 guests at any one time, cat-ski backup, an intimate backcountry lodge and an industry-leading staff!  With over 30 heli-ski operations to choose from, Mica Heli Guides is obviously honored to learn that SKIING Magazine has awarded Mica the highest accolade in the ski industry!”
