Adamants

Big turns, small groups

True solitude with friends

CMH Adamants specializes exclusively in Small Group trips featuring the elite A-Star B3 helicopter — this location tops the ‘must-do’ list of those who want more runs with fewer people. As one of the most accessible yet remote lodges in our arsenal, the untouched terrain and intimate lodge atmosphere at the Adamants have pushed it to near mythical status amongst those who like their snow big and their ski groups small. It's a favorite for visitors who enjoy the broad alpine vistas and efficient pace of the Small Group program, as well as its proximity to Kelowna International Airport.

With dramatic alpine terrain and a true backcountry lodge setting, one of our most epic locations draws guests seeking deep Canadian wilderness, as well as the feel of skiing and riding volumes of east-side Selkirk powder. At the Adamants, your four-person group plus one guide will be lifted to untouched terrain in the agile A-Star B3 heli, giving you unparalleled access to some of the most far-flung runs in Canada. Book a single seat or bring a handful of your nearest and dearest — either way, this elevated style of BC heli-skiing builds a collective feel in tight-knit groups that ski and ride in rhythm for a full week. As a result, many of our Adamants groups return and ski together season after season to experience the same semi-private feel that delivers a ton of satisfying turns. This is Small Group heli-skiing at its finest.

Alpine Glory

Diverse options

The terrain at CMH Adamants leans heavily toward big, open alpine with dramatic backdrops. For those who score bluebird powder days with the expansive views of towering craggy peaks, there are few places on earth that compare to the otherworldly landscape of the east side of the Selkirk mountain range. Skiers and riders seek out CMH Adamants for its alpine and subalpine glory, but for those who still secretly dream of deep tree runs, we have more than a few of those in the tenure as well. 

The Adamants is famous for its Small Group heli-skiing. The low guide-to-guest and guest-to-heli ratio creates an ideal environment for more advanced groups that want to ski fast and log vertical during their trip. While physical stamina and fitness is a must to ski the Adamants, the terrain is not excessively technical or incredibly intimidating. As a result, we also offer our Powder Intro program in the same small-group setting, which creates a very positive and encouraging dynamic for skiers or snowboarders who are dropping into their first heli-skiing trip.
