by Izzy Lynch When I received an e-mail from one of Mica’s lead guides that read: “Scot Schmidt is in my group this week and we have an extra spot in the heli. Would you like to come up tomorrow?” there was no thinking twice. Meeting, let alone skiing with one of freeskiing’s pioneers is not an opportunity that comes up every day. I have always been inspired by the originators in the ski world. They pushed limits and rebelled against the boundaries of the sport, skied lines that have never been skied, and inspired a culture, a community and a lifestyle that we call freeskiing today. (And they did it all on long, skinny skis. That, my friends, is talent.)

Check out the latest episode of Ski TV that just dropped that features Claire Challen, Guiding Manager, Shane Kroeger and Marketing Manager, Izzy Lynch. The crew had a blast experiencing all that Mica has to offer in early April last year. Watch the episode that proclaims Mica Heli as "one of the ultimate ski destinations" and showcases the amazing powder skiing conditions that we offer from December right through April.
