Heli-Skiing & Cat-Skiing
Heli-skiing (Randy Lincks photo)
A handful of heli-skiing operators work out of the small Golden Airport, flying skiers and snowboarders into a massive area of high peaks, glaciers and bowls.
Their commitment, as one operator puts it, is to share "the best run of our lives" day after day. For clients, this means adventure, excitement, legendary powder and fresh tracks - not only fresh after a new snowfall, but sometimes descending never-before-skiied slopes.

Great Canadian Heli-Skiing
Great Canadian offers packages between two and seven days with unlimited vertical. A maximum of four skiers/snowboarders per group means less wait times and more skiing. Accommodation is provided at Heather Mountain Lodge, as is breakfast, a picnic lunch and a gourmet evening meal. At the end of a long day in the powder, guests can relax in the hot tub or soothe aching muscles with a massage service.
Chatter Creek
It could be said that a helicopter-accessed backcountry lodge is its own form of heli-skiing. However, at Chatter Creek Lodge, where the focus is mainly on cat-skiing, it is also possible to add a day or more of dedicated heli-skiing experience - and they guarantee a minimum vertical of 5200m/17000ft.
Heli-skiing is typically for intermediate to advanced skiers with good physical fitness. For more information on heli-skiing in this area, drop by the Visitor Centre in Golden.
