POWDER DAYS Freesurf Magazine, March 2008 - “Our crew was treated to a very unfair dose of powder runs, untouched natural terrain and fresh tracks. With a reputation for 5-star service, top quality guides and world-class snow, this snow adventure lived up to the hype and delivered way beyond expectation…. all it takes is one powder run and you’re hooked for life.”
THRILLING EXPERIENCE Melbourne Age, March 2008 - “The snow we encounter here is magical light powder and boot deep…. The resort comprises luxuriously appointed hand-cut wooden lodges, roaring fires, super-comfy beds, and spa baths….” OUT OF BOUNDS n’East Magazine, 2008 - “ I heard of the ultimate in heli-ski operations, a virtual dreamland of A-stars and face shots… Wiegele World… tucked into the most scenic valley in the Cariboo range of British Columbia. There are plenty of others in North America and in BC especially. But none carry as much clout and instill such a sense of skiing history and friendship as Wiegele World. It stems from repeat clients who call this place “theirs.” NORTH AMERICA’S SHANGRI-LA Private Air, March 2008 - “Draw up a list of the world’s greatest ski resorts: Vail, Zermatt, Chamonix, Whistler, Mike Wiegele’s… Wiegele's remarkable Shangri-La, nestled between the Monashee and Cariboo mountains in British Columbia, is quite simply the largest and most spectacular ski destination in North America....As the sun pierces the pines, we drag our skis to the Bell 212 and lift off with 12 onboard. Within seconds we’re soaring up into the mountains. The views are astounding: we pass just feet above a sheer cliff and sea-blue glacier, majestic alpine peaks and emerald lakes stretching clean to the horizon.”
MIKE WIEGELE'S WHITE DREAM SkiPress, March 2008 - "The dream is coming true... a tranquil alpine village far from the hectic hurly-burly of ordinary ski resorts, Saddle Mountain will be a collection of private homes and condos at the base of a ski hill, but on a much grander scale…" OUT OF BOUNDS Smart Money, February 2008 - “Backcountry skiing isn’t just for hard core powder hounds anymore… pioneering backcountry skiers used to rough it in trailers. Now these outings offer perks like private chefs.”
HITTING THESE SLOPES WILL MAKE YOU MELT The Sydney Morning Herald, February 2008 - “Women can ski the mountains just as well, if not more stylishly. It is challenging and exciting and very addictive. Women who are fit and keen and don't mind the male jokes should stop believing heli skiing is too "out there" and start saving now. It is worth every cent.” NEW RUNS FROM SKI MOGUL The Toronto Sun, January 2008 - "Wiegele's five-star heli-ski lodge near Blue River, B.C., sets the standard for heli-skiing around the world...There are no ski lifts, no ski trails, no nothing at Blue River - nothing except untouched powder snow on peaks and in valleys..."
YOU HAVE TO FIND YOUR OWN WAY St. Anton Alberg Revue, Winter 2007 - "...he began to build up a heli-skiing resort in Blue River at the beginning of the 70s, which today is a leading resort of that kind in the world. It is the largest area of that kind, comprising of 4,500 square kilometers."
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO WIEGELE Ski Canada, Spring 2006 - “From the founding trio of a genre that profoundly changed skiing, only one continues to lead a heli-skiing company… Mike Wiegele - Mr. Heli-Ski in the flesh.”
