As of today, there are exactly 145 more days until the first chopper lifts off at Mica Heli Guides. There are still dates available for the first tour, so if you can't wait any longer, now is the time to book, as many of the later tours are already full. Mica is located in beautiful Revelstoke, British Columbia. Revelstoke is a premier destination for skiing and snowboarding in B.C., which is itself a first class setting for all types of skiing, with 95% of the world's helicopter and snow cat skiing occurring here every year. Mica is the best operation here in Revelstoke, if not all of  B.C., offering exclusively small-group tours of its more than 177,000 acre tenure.

 145 days sounds like a lot, but don't worry, the new season of glorious champagne powder will be here soon enough. If you can't wait that long to visit the rugged beauty of the Canadian Rockies, consider visiting the mountains while they aren't so covered in snow. Mountain biking and hiking are the obvious activities, but Revelstoke has much more to offer. Great for all abilities, and the whole family, is a helicopter tour of the area complete with picnic. Once you land, however, you'll immediately be thinking of what a ride it would be with your skis or snowboard. With your mind now made up, book a tour for your family or friends with Mica, and take advantage of the many unique things Mica has to offer.

 First and foremost when considering spending the money to take a helicopter to the top of a mountain is how much skiing you'll get to do. It's pointless, not to mention frustrating, if the helicopter can't even take off due to the weather. Mica's unique tenure is situated in such a way that many of their valleys remain accessible by helicopter while other operations are grounded. This has given Mica the ability to boast a history of only 1.5 down days per season. Now that you know who to vacation with, make sure to reserve your spot now before it’s gone.
