Beauty lil rip through the Rockies yesterday

Where’s everyone workin out there!!!???

Today let’s throw up our hands for the engineers out there keepin us flyin! They work hard every night and every morning to keep the blades turnin for us and make sure all the moving parts are moving in the proper way they are suppose to! Let’s throw up a big cheers for all the boys n girls that work hard to keep us in the air safely and efficiently!!! Cheers to our mechanics! Much love! Have a great day everyone fly safe and have fun!

Happy Friyay! Everyone! It’s nearing the end of heli ski season but it doesn’t quite feel like spring just yet! At least not where I am! Let’s remember to stay on our A game out there and not fall victim to complacency! There’s still a lot of hazards out there that could reach up and grab ya unexpectedly! When it’s been dumping snow and windy the ski landings can change quite a bit! Make sure to do your reccee and have a good look to see if there’s enough tail clearance, rotor clearance etc… most of the flags where I am currently have been buried so you need to find some reference or drop your passengers and go put skid marks in on a clear day! It’s also the time of year where lots of storm systems are rolling through packing a punch! Can get really windy really quick! If you have to land and wait it out that’s better than fighting through weather you’d rather not be in! Lastly there’s a lot of the white stuff out there currently! Be sure of your approaches, once you’ve set up your approach and your committed try n make sure you have an out if things go sideways! Once your on your final path to the spot stay committed and ride it in to the flags! Trust your gut and if your spidy senses are tingling blow off the landing before your committed on final and go check out another spot! Happy Friyay everybody! Have a great day and fly safe!!!

Happy Sunday funday everyone!!! Today let’s talk about avalanche risk! She’s high risk out there in many parts of BC still! Be cautious out there with your skiers and snowboarders but also choose wisely where you park your machine while waiting for ski guests!!! It sometimes slips our minds that we may be in the path of an avalanche run off. Be careful and mindful when choosing a spot to sit especially if you’re shutting down. Also important to find a spot with good reference as many of these waiting spots are white, white, white!!!! Take your time and blow the snow off the landing if you can before you settle in! Also good practice to keep a broken flag in your machine to place if your planning on coming back to that spot. Have a great day and fly safe out there!
