CMH has more than 160 employed mountain guides with many years of experience; all CMH mountain guides are ACMG (Association of Canadian Mountain Guides) and\/or IFMGA (International federation of Mountain Guides Association) certified. CMH mountain guides work in teams with highly experienced helicopter pilots. One or two mountain guides (depending on program) lead the ski groups through the backcountry.<\/p>\n
