POWDER UP Skiers flying from Vancouver to Calgary peer down on enticing peaks, as the Monashees give way to the Bugaboos, then the Cariboos, and on and on. The terrain isn’t simply fodder for fantasy; it’s the playground of Canadian Mountain Holidays, the world’s largest heli-skiing operation. CMH combines 10,000 square miles of terrain with nine backcountry lodges for possibly the world’s most exquisite 1.5- to 10-day heli-adventures. How exciting can it get? Consider this private weeklong trip: eight friends, three guides, six mountain areas, unlimited skiing, and at least 131,000 vertical feet – guaranteed. January 1 through March 31, 2009; from $180,000 for up to eight skiers, including all meals and accommodations.
