Testimonials

Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing is committed to high standards of customer service and safety by exceeding our guest's expectations in all aspects of operations. Here are some of the kind words our valued guests have to say about their experiences.

Gerry Lopez

"In a surfing analogy, Mike Wiegele's Heli-World would be a combination of every dream surf spot at their most perfect conditions all at the same time without any other surfers in the line-up except your own group.
Could anything in life be better than that?

Gerry Lopez - Oregon, USA

"I have been coming to Blue River since 1983. Over the past 25 years I have brought many friends to MWHS and created the "Awesome Bavarian Skiing Machine". The terrain in Blue River is extremely diverse and challenging. We migrate to the trees on the days when the Blue River snow machine is in full effect. To experience the vastness and untouched beauty of the Glaciers in the Cariboos and the Monashees is something that no European skier could ever imagine. The Guides and Pilots are the best trained in the industry, focusing on safety and customer service. Many of them have become very close friends. The private dinners at the Bavarian Estate are a multi star experience.
Coming to Blue River is like a home coming to friends.

Matthias Maresch -Augsburg, Germany

"I feel very safe! It shows that the guides have all been cut from the same mold in regards to safety. The "let's go skiing" philosophy of trying to get you into the mountains whenever safely possibly is a core rule within the organization. The mountain ranges are extremely friendly to Snowboarders of all ages. The staff treats you like family and their service is outstanding."

Frank Perna (70yrs old) - California, USA

"It's a magical place. There is nothing like it. The skiing experience is unmatched. Coming to Blue River is like coming home to old friends."

Jeff Weinhuff - California, USA

"I've traveled to Wiegeles on a couple of occasions with a small group of Australians. The experience can only be described as unique. It is truly special. The snow, the environment, the facilities, the helicopters, the people you meet and the staff - all come together to create a total escape from day to day life. To be understood, it must be experienced. Safety is priority # 1 here. When you visit here, you are in for an experience that leaves you talking about it for months if not years."

Rob Aivatoglou - Melbourne, Australia

"It is not only about the skiing. It is about the warm atmosphere created by the Mike Wiegele Team, as well as their outstanding level of Service."

Sandy Mortensen - Colorado, USA

"The professionalism of the organization is a 6 star experience. The safety measurements and quality of skiing are unmatched. You guys are like family to us!"

Bob Wolfe - Colorado, USA

"Next season I will complete 10 yrs skiing with Mike Wiegele. Since the first day, I found that this is the best snow and ski you can get. A great team and a great resort allows me to ski with my family, on a very relax and nice ambiance, and as well to ski with my friends on a more aggressive terrain and challenging way.
I had with Mike Wiegele my best powder ski days and more than 3000,000 vertical feet in a week. That's why I come back every time.
Thank you Mike for having the dream and the vision, almost 40 years ago, to start this Helicopter skiing operation.

Carlos Fortunato - Portugal

"I was hooked. The first time the 'copter door slid open and I clicked into the Sugar Daddies, I knew Wiegele was special. My annual pilgrimage reaffirms how adeptly Mike has instilled in all employees a single mission - strive to exceed the expectations of each guest. Wiegele is an unique experience because every aspect is top-shelf.
Be forewarned, it is highly addictive.
Mark F. Kennedy - Colorado, USA

"I've been coming to MWHS since 1999 every year. It is my "week of the year" and I look forward to it expecting another powder experience in Canada. MWHS is the most fantastic experience that a skier can get, not only for the quality of snow, the quantity of terrain available, the huge glaciers or the incredible tree runs, it is also the sense of freedom you get when you are up there feeling the silence of the mountains and watching the brightness of the fresh snow. Add to this all the friendly and kind people that work in the resort, those who ensure that you feel well attended and that you ski in the most safe conditions.
MWHS is the top experience of any skier and the only way to understand is by going.
Santiago Raventos - Barcelona, Spain

"I am a 55 yr old from Norway who has been skiing since the age of four. But it was not until Jan. 05 that I found my skiing Nirvana. Three friends and I from Norway had our first heli week with MWHS. What a week it turned out to be. Terrific skiing, nice people, good service/accommodation and very nice food. We loved everything about it. I have been back every year since then. And last season I had two weeks in a row. It turned out to be the best skiing I have had in my whole life. Lots and lots of powder and face shots in almost every run. And the tree skiing in Blue River is impossible to describe. Simply the best in the world . You have to experience it yourself. If I am going back next year? It is not a question about if I am coming back to MWHS - it is more a question of when and with who. I highly recommend Blue River, Mike W and his crew."

Trond Henrikssen - Norway
