Diamond Peaks Heli arrives - just before touchdown and landed
Helicopter in the parking lot South of the Powder Mountain lodge - note fuel truck
Kurt and Myke hanging in the lodge while we check-in for the Heli ride
Looking North from the lodge at the ski area and where the Heli was going to take us
Helicopter sets down right next to Myke for Parking Lot Pickup
Kurt says time to jump in the Diamond Peaks Heli
You board (and disembark) the Heli as the blades are turning
Kris is pretty excited about Diamond Peaks Heli Ski - more smile pics
Kurt is pumped too - note how small the Heli Cabin is (parking lot/lodge on right)
Kurt mugs for the camera as Myke snaps a shot
Alek takes a self-portrait with the wide-angle lens
Myke after disembarking from the Heli - ready to snowboard some untracked Utah snow
Kurt thinks we might need a snorkel for skiing - another snorkel picture
After skiing down, Kurt, Myke, and Kris back at the Lower LZ for Heli touchdown
The Heli blows a LOT of snow around
Diamond Peaks Heli takes off with other skiers doing the shuttle back to the upper LZ
Kris stands tall while Myke takes cover during another Heli takeoff
Diamonds Peak Heli landing at the LZ - very wide angle lens - it comes down RIGHT next to us!
Kris gets a pictures of Kurt, Myke, and Alek just before takeoff ...
Shortly thereafter ... Heli blows quite a bit of snow around on liftoff ;-)
Another landing at the upper LZ - we bail out as Casey unloads the Heli
35 seconds (!) later, the Heli is airborne - talk about quick turns!
Another takeoff at the Upper LZ gets a Big Thumbs Up!
Myke watches the Helicopter as Kurt flexes for the camera - Heli flys right over Kris
And then the Heli zips down to the valley LZ to pick up the another group of skiers
Here's the lower LZ - except for the one refueling, we usually waited just a few minutes
And then it was back in the chopper for another ride up the hill - OH YEAH!!!
Kurt took this picture of me giving the thumbs up as Myke is all smiles
Kurt took some pictures of me riding up front on the last Heli ride
Just before liftoff from lower LZ - note 6,900' on altimeter
Airspeed picks up shortly after liftoff from the lower LZ - next pic in 2 minutes, 10 seconds
Upper LZ was on this ridge - altimeter now 9,100' & airspeed 85 knots - 6 seconds later
Alek gets out back at the Powder Mountain Parking Lot
Diamond Peaks Heli takes off from parking lot after giving us 6 runs and 12,000 vertical feet in 4.5 hours
The Heli stuck around for a bit after Heli Skiing - note second Heli!
Radio-Controlled Helicopter zipped around pretty good!
