Press Release Summary: Mica Heliskiing annouces new Private heli skiing program
utilizing the Bell 407 Helicopter

Press Release Body: Revelstoke, BC Canada Oct 15, 2008 - Mica Heliskiing announced
today a new Private heliskiing program utilizing the Bell 407 helicopter. "After a
very successful first season of our new Private Program, we've made the ultimate ski
experience even better! The Bell 407 has one more seat than the A-Star, which
allows room for a second guide, giving our private groups the ability to safely
explore the far reaches of our terrain. This helicopter has incredible power and
excellent fuel capacity which means more time skiing!" says Paul Norrie Mica Heli
Guides President.

Private tours include:
-Private Bell 407 Helicopter
-Unlimited Vertical
-2 hours/day heli time
-Greater discretion over your ski program
-Single occupancy hotel accommodation pre/post heli trip (Kelowna or Revelstoke)
-Airport shuttle service in Kelowna
-Ground transport from Kelowna to Revelstoke
-Heli transfer from Revelstoke to/from Mica Lodge
-Optional Heli transfer from Calgary or Kelowna
-Single occupancy rooming in Mica Chalet (large room, King bed, fireplace)
-Gourmet meals
-Use of our K2 powder skis and safety equipment (ABS airbag, digital transceiver,
shovel & probe).
-Two guides with groups of 1-4 skiers.

Although Mica Heli has quickly become known for consistent weather and quality snow,
on those rare days when the snow is deep, but flying isn't a safe option; we have an
exciting new alternative! As I write this we are putting the finishing touches on a
new trail for our Pisten Bully Snow Cat. This will allow us to access the tree
skiing directly above the lodge while we wait for the flying conditions to improve.


Mica Heliskiing has been a buzz all summer with many projects. Most importantly
we've opened more new ski terrain! In total we've cut nine new helicopter landings
in Molson, Harvey, Dawson and the Wood Arm drainages. These new landings will add a
wide variety of new ski terrain, including some beautiful, steep, north facing tree
runs in Harvey! "I'm definitely looking forward to the first turns ever on the
"Drive Thru", only a two minute flight from the lodge!" says Darryn Shewchuk - Mica
Heli Guides Director of Sales and Marketing.
Returning guests will be sure to notice the renovations made to Mica Lodge including
a full kitchen renovation (complete with new appliances and a wine cooler) fresh
paint, new furniture and creature comforts. The next thing you'll notice is the
brand new beds and linens - if the skiing wasn't so amazing you might not want to
get out of bed!
