Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing

Welcome to Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing. We ski over 1.5 million acres of some of the most picturesque and breathtaking mountain terrain in the world, and we want to share it. As daunting as the reach of our terrain is, our experienced guides know the place like it’s their backyard and will bring you to the exact slopes they know you’ll love. A day of heli-skiing is only as good as your guide. Ours know no boundaries.

We understand that everyone has a different idea of the ideal vacation, and our professionally guided trips can all be tailored to suit your needs, skill and motivation. From a relaxed week of skiing and enjoying the mountain air to logging unlimited vertical in a single week, we’re committed to bringing your dream to life.

Since 1970, Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing has shared what we believe is the best ski experience in the industry with our extended family of guests. But what sets us apart isn’t our terrain, our location or our facilities. It’s the man who started it all. And the personality that he put into everything we do. Guests, guides, and staff are treated like family.

It’s an environment that fosters mutual respect, inspires confidence on the mountain, and creates lasting bonds between guests and the people who bring your heli-skiing trip to life. It’s about more than skiing. That’s the Mike Wiegele way!

At Mike Wiegele Heliskiing, we are more than just a team, we are family. It started with Mike himself, who brought his passion for skiing and close knit family together, here. Family is at the core of who we are, and it’s what sets us apart. We bring quality service to our valued heliskiing friends that create lasting bonds.

Hosts, instructors, and storytellers, our guides are chosen for their ability to provide you with an exciting and memorable heliski vacation while always caring for your safety and comfort. Many senior guides have been with MWHS for more than 20 years and have earned the highest levels of qualification available, both as guides and ski instructors.

Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing is located in the heart of the breathtaking open bowls and peaks of the Cariboo, Monashee and Rocky mountain ranges. Here, the warm air from the west meets the cold-dry air from the north and creates more than 10 metres of perfect powder each winter.

Our northern latitude helps ensure we get the consistent cold weather needed for snow. With more than 1,500,000 acres of terrain and over 1,000 peaks, we can enjoy the majesty of the high alpine glaciers as well as the forested valley glades.
