Experience the Canadian Rocky Mountains by helicopter from our base in Valemount, British Columbia, Canada and combine the thrill of helicopter flight with mountain adventures.
We offer heli-snowboarding, heli sightseeing tours, heli skiing, heli hiking and heli snowshoe tours throughout Mount Robson Provincial Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Monashee mountains and Cariboo mountains.
Chris, isn’t Heli-Magic redundant?
Valid point!
2. Robson HeliMagic is in the neighborhood of some very famous heliskiing (Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing, Crescent Spur Heli-Skiing, Canadian Mountain Holidays – CMH Valemount, CMH Cariboos and CMH McBride.
How did you get such prime real estate?
We do keep pretty famous company out here! We are certainly not as “famous” however we have been one of the best kept secrets in the heli world, until now! [We at HELISKI.com are flattered]
We have been heli adventuring for over 20 years, there is no shortage of stellar terrain where we are, everything is prime.
3. What are the details of a single-day heliskiing or heliboarding package?
This year we introduced a new way of skiing. We no longer count vertical, guests can ski as much or as little as they want with their 2 ACMG certified guides and private Bell 407 or Bell 205. [Schwing!] Ski a day, or a package. Your choice.
4. OK, how much for a single day?
1-day, up to 4 passengers, Bell 407. Two guides, lunch, avi bags and all safety gear $3914 Can., plus tax. Includes 1 hr of flight
[This is a screamin' deal compared to most single-day rates, assuming you have a group of 4]
5. How about the multi-day packages?
We will custom create a package for you. Traditionally we offer 3, 5, and 7-day packages. Enjoy an all-inclusive, or ski a la carte. We are without a doubt the most affordable heli adventure company out there. Guaranteed.
6. OK, how much for a 3-day package?
3-day all-inclusive, Private Bell 407
4 guests $17,680
1.5 hours of flight time per day
[Plenty. Notice it is about the same as 3X the single day rate, but 50% more flight time.]
7. What if there are only two of us?
2 guests $16,490 Can., 1.5 hours of flight time per day
Your Own Ship….That IS HeliMagic
8. What are the lodging options?
For guests who like to be a bit more central the Best Western [oxymoron?] Inn and Suites is the way to go. For folks wanting a bit more privacy, room to stretch out, then our 4 bedroom ski chalet is for you. Vaulted ceilings, stone fireplace, hot tub, full kitchen and BBQ this is the perfect place to chill out. Concierge service is available for groceries, beverages, housekeeping etc.
Too tired to cook? No worries our chef is standing by. For those very rare days where the weather is an issue, snowmobiling, dog sledding, cat and resort skiing are all a short drive from Valemount.
This Ain’t the Best Western
9. Skiing in only two groups is great, and rare. What’s your philosophy?
Actually skiing with two groups is even rare for us. At Robson HeliMagic we usually ski in one group. [Epic!] We believe it should always be about the skiing or boarding. We never want our guests to feel rushed and uncomfortable in large groups of people. It is important to me that the smile on their face when I see them at the end of the day is only surpassed by that feeling on the inside….when you have had a moment to just be, and to really take in your surroundings and exhale. No pressure.
Just Say No to Sharing a Chopper!
10. You offer large groups in a 205, and small groups in a 407. Do you keep both on hand?
Yep, we do! And remember, we never mix and match unless you tell us too. So it is just you and your family and friends in the machine! When we say private, we mean it. [For me, that's a 407 with room to spare]
11. What percentage of your clients are heli-boarding?
We have a pretty good blend of shredders and skiers. The terrain works well for both actually.
12. Robson HeliMagic (RHM) is a member of HeliCat Canada. Why is this important to potential clients?
HC has the highest industry standards. It is important to us that we meet and excel these guidelines .
No Hiking…..All Hail the Magic Ship!
13. You also offer summer-time heli hiking tours and adventures. Tell us about that.
RHM is definitely an all around heli adventure company. We are the only heli company with landing privileges at Berg Lake. Mt. Robson is a world UNESCO heritage site, RHM is honored to be able to fly people up to the amazing high country where they can explore endless hiking, glaciers, waterfalls galore and great camping. Perfect trip for individuals, families. Fly in, hike out!
[I'd rather have all my teeth pulled, but Dad used to say "To each his own"]
Question 14: Where the hell is our CHOPPER?!?!
OK, Chris, I’m convinced! Summer rocks on Robson.
15. Is there anything else you would like to say about Robson HeliMagic heli-skiing and heli-boarding?
I love this company. Valemount, is an amazing place to live, the mountains are my home. One of our guests summed it up beautifully last winter. “You guys showed us the best, warmest little adventure I’ve had in years. Thoroughly enjoyed place, people and experience”
Thanks, Chris!

October 12th 2012 and the snow line is reaching mid mountain with such eagerness that I can’t help but grin at such determination. Forecast is for a very cold winter, and much snow. Getting lost in the mounds of ski magazines that arrive daily and cover my desk. Rough day when I read away most it. Looking forward to seeing the guides this winter, bittersweet this year as our longtime guide and friend Peter Amann is leaving us for bigger and more explosive opportunities! It goes without saying that our new lead has big boots to fill. The banff mountain film fest is in few weeks, can’t wait to meet up with old friends, make new ones. chat soon. C
Well we are into are 2nd month and the awsomness that is Skiing with Robson Helimagic is only surpassed by the greatness of our guests. So there. Seriuosly, condition are great with the exception of one weather day that grounded us. This of course only served to motivate guides and guests alike to ski till they dropped the next day. It would appear our guest to guide ration of 2 guides, 3 guests at kick ass prices has inspired the guests to purchase even more vertical. The stories they will tell when they get back to Paris. C’est mervellieux.
Well, I don’t think we could’ve started off the season any better than today. With over 1.5m of snow as a base and up to 40cms’ of that light and fluffy good stuff we all know and love… Robson Heli Magic is open for business!
Our group today consisted of 4 guests, 2 who flew all the way from Paris to Edmonton AND drove to Valemount in 2 days just to come skiing with us!, and 2 from Canada who know how good it can be… Guides today included Peter Amann (IFMGA/ACMG Mountain Guide) and Cam McLellan (ACMG Assistant Ski Guide). Our ski program today was based out of the North Fork of the Swift Creek drainage (northern part of our ski tenure in the Selwyn Range of the Rocky Mountains).
Skiing up in the North Fork was definately some of the best skiing i’ve had this winter (and the rest of the group definately agrees with me… this I can assure you of!) We skied 5 thigh burning runs through beautiful open alpine slopes and down into exceptionally perfect trees. Runs skied today were Outlaw (2 laps), JAL, First Run, and Bavaria (this being the best run BY FAR as agreed on by our powder hound crew). 2800m logged, a few hundred turns in some of mother nature’s finest, and smiles you couldn’t wipe away no matter how hard you tried!!
Well… That’s it for now (actually… that’s all I can really say as #1. Skiing like that really tires me out and #2 it’s really hard to describe unless you’re getting wicked turns in along with us). Until next time… I hope you enjoy some teaser photos of Robson Heli Magic skiing…
With 1.5 metres of fresh powder or more in the alpine RHM is gearing up for a great opening day! Admittedly a slow start to the season winter has finally arrived with more snow forecasted in the next few days. Joining us this year is one of our new assistant guides Cam who graciously accepted my invite to blog for RHM since he is out playing in the mountains and sadly I am not. Stay tuned for his blogs about RHM and a great season. Later.
Hey all, well we started snowshoeing at berg lake this winter. This experience really is a once of a lifetime day for most who venture in. The weather was snowy and quiete cold, but upon reaching the back face of Mt. Robson the sun shone and clouds disappeared. Check out the great photos and article penned in thei weeks edition of the Rocky Mountain Goat.www.THEROCKYMOUNTAINGOAT.COM
Snow finally made an appearance this week, a great reminder of why living in the Rockies is amazing! We will start training Guides new and old in a few weeks and I am anxious to see what conditions are like. Marmot Basin in Jasper which is just 1 hr from us opens this weekend so until are blades start spinning towards the high country we will play out there a few times. Thanks to Peter Amann our lead Guide for doing such a great job in Banff at the Film Fest, and a big Thank You for all of you who stopped by our booth to say hi and to find out what we are all about!
Hey everyone, the Banff Film Festival is this weekend, come by the booth and say hi, get info on the company, check out our company, ski packages, and great deals. Chat with Peter Amann our lead guide about our terrain and great skiing.
Halloween is just around the corner and so is the snowfall that will will succomb to the days sun. In other words, it is cold! This is good, of course I love the snow, snow makes my world go round, it also makes fall my a** when I am running after the dogs. The meterologists are calling for a stellar year when it comes to snowfall, lets hope they are right. For you city dwellers who have a yearning to experience a rocky mountain winter, please let me know, I have alot of wood that needs chopping, a long driveway that need shoveling, get my drift. No pun intended.
