Fancy heli skiing in Canada? Yeah, us too.
It’s one step closer this southern season with Thredbo’s Vertical Metres Challenge.
Thredbo Resort, our favourite fun Canadian heli skiing company, CMH Heli-Skiing alongside Travelplan Ski and Air Canada are putting on a challenge like no other for skiers and snowboards this winter with the launch of the Vertical Metres Challenge.
Guests who ride over 5000 vertical metres in one day at Thredbo will automatically go in the draw to win the ultimate heli-skiing trip in Canada for two in 2023 worth over $28K.
Say what?
Yep, the lucky winner will receive return airfares, transfers, accommodation and meals for two plus 5-days of heli-skiing at the CMH Kootenay Heli-skiing area. Trust us, it’s a ski and board holiday you will never forget.
To take on the challenge and be in the running, skiers and snowboarders must clock over 5000 vertical metres on the mountain in one day throughout Thredbo’s 2022 winter season. Metres will be automatically recorded on guest lift pass profiles, and each day that a rider hits the 5000-metre mark equates to an additional entry.
