Facts & FAQ
Bobbie Burns is CMH’s closest location to Calgary International Airport, making it a prime destination for foreign travelers. Despite this proximity, Bobbie Burns is still a four-hour trek from the airport. Most individuals take advantage of CMH’s private coach transfer, bringing you straight to the airport from the heli-pad. Optionally, one can rent a car and drive it there. This occurs on the first day of your trip, so if you fly in late you may need to book accommodations in Calgary until the coach can arrive in the morning. The Calgary Marriot-in-Terminal Hotel is recommended.
Once at the heli-pad, skiers board a connecting helicopter that brings them to the remote backcountry lodge. This ride is short (less than 30 minutes) and allows you breathtaking views of the surrounding Selkirk and Purcell Mountains. On your final day, you will be brought once again to the heli-pad where you can board the return coach or hop in your rented vehicle.
At CMH Heli Skiing Bobbie Burns, the amenities are truly top-notch. While Burns was one of the original locations CMH established, the lodge has recently been upgraded to reflect modernity.
