Helicopter Skiing and a Small Rescue

Last March I was invited along to guide some skiers on a Helicopter ski tour of the Wasatch. In the middle of the day someone in the helicopter got a call from a friend who had broken his leg while skiing by himself in the backcountry. We flew to his rescue, plucked him off the mountain, and delivered him to his car. Then we resumed our powder filled day. I shoot about 5-10 videos every year that never make it to the channel. This was one of those videos. It seemed out of place for Mediocre but after recently watching my insta version of this video I decided to finish it, which wasn't hard since I had completed about 80% of it last march.

Where's the suffering?? It doesn't feel right to watch one of your vids without someone hating life. Apparently, I enjoy your pain.

I think this is what happened here : Danny thought that the content might be little meh, vibes of just another heli-skiing video. He looked at the group and said, "I need a volunteer to jump out of the heli 40 feet up and then we film a cool rescue". One of the base jumpers probably went "Sure son, that sounds like the shit....here, hold my phone" Win / Win. Danny gets some spicy content and the base jumper gets his gravity fix without dying.

Have you heard of Telescope Peak in Death Valley NP? Its the tallest peak in the park and it is climbable from Badwater Bason/Lake Manly, which is the lowest point in the USA 11k up. I have planned the route twice but always had to scrape it due to weather in the area while I was in Death Valley

2:30 Does this type of hovering have some special name? I am always curious how a pilot can know in advance that he has enough gap between the main rotor and the slope surface which is used as pivot point, hovering in this way.
