"The people were very friendly and tried to help us make the best of the trip. The first day of powder skiing at Alyeska was great." Rick, April 2016
"Having the experience of heli skiing with my 10 and 14 year old boys along. It was so great to see their excitement. And lunch on the top of a beautiful mountain peak was incredible!" Whitney, April 2018
"A fantastic overall experience and access to would otherwise be inaccessible terrain. The Seven Glaciers dinner was also really nice!" Mark, March 2018
"Boarding the steep, wide open powder." Dane, March 2016
"As an experienced BC skier and someone who spends a lot of time in the mountains, I was very impressed with the level of snow safety performed by your team. I never once questioned any decision made or felt uncomfortable. Reflecting back on this, I learned a lot about how your operation works and was impressed. " Peter, March 2016

Also really value that the guides where not only super professional but also really easy going and cool to hang out with!" Joel, February 2018
“The entire day was an adventure for us and I know we all want to do it again. We lucked out with the sunny weather. I was proposed to while skiing, so that was my personal highlight. CPG helped to make the proposal and the entire heli-ski experience epic! We hope to return!” Alicia, April 2018

Were there any low points during your experience at CPG?
-
“3rd day we struggled to find good snow. Granted, it hadn't snowed in about 3 weeks. Dave, Sean, Dan and our pilot all scoured the area for good snow. They struck out a few times. The snow was brutal. But they were super cool about it, and as knowledgable you guys all are, you can't make it snow. Yet...” Tony, March 2017
“Snow wasn't blower pow but we had some great runs. CPG does all they can to make the day fun and memorable for their guests.” Whitney, April 2018
“If I would go back, I'd request the same guides and hope to get to ride some steeper terrain, but in all honesty this day some solely about having an awesome experience in the mountains and CPG delivered just that!!” Joel, February 2018
“This is an observation that you probably get a lot but the abilities and ambitions of each rider are very disparate and whilst the guides clearly do their best to cater for everyone, ultimately you will choose terrain that is acceptable to the least competent rider. Inevitably it is frustrating to not be able to ski the Alaskan steeps, especially having travelled a long way to do so, even accepting that conditions dictate a lot of what is skiable. I’m not sure what the answer is, I suppose it’s booking 4 seats on the helicopter with people of similar ability and ambitions – but that is easier said than done” Alex, March 2017
“getting shut down after 2 drops the first day & then waiting around until 2pm the second day to be canned again - nothing CPG can do about the weather” Nick, March 2018
