Heli Ski Weekend!

Hillary received her engagement gift, so I decided to get something for myself as well this last weekend ... 2 days of heli skiing!  The first day was up on the Juneau Icefield and the second day was over in the southern Chilkats ... it was incredible!  I don't have many pictures/videos together yet, but they will follow.  So for now there is a little preview.

This chute was our third run of the day. The snow was perfect.  It was a toe-in landing, where the helicopter didn't have enough room to land so it set down one rail and hovered as we got out.
