The nose of the helicopter is stuck to the snowy slope. The blades of the EC 145 of the gendarmerie graze the white coat.
That might be a little too close for comfort for some.

Two winching evolutions (a double lift and a single lift) to put the team down on the slope is hardly excessive exposure.
