Jay Flight, Believe it or not there is a ski basket on the right side of the helicopter, you can just see the top of it. The guides were getting a **** of a work out trying to walk around the front of the 212 every time chest deep in snow. I wish I had a photo of that! Here is a pic of ALJ up in the alpine before it started to dump snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmac Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I can remember doing the same thing on low skid gear and hoping there was no stump were I was sticking the nose. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Blackmac I know what you mean. The L3 pictured is on low gear and there has been many sites that I have refused to land at due to poor snow coverage and KNOWN stumps and pointy things just under the snow's surface. The spot in the first photo is a regular landing for the 212, I just happened to be there first after the last dump of snow. Damage to the belly is certainly a risk when operating in deep snow in the mountains. No matter how many precautions you take there is always the possibility of a nasty surprise waiting for you upon landing. Cheers! NG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
