Post Mountain flying

Mountain flying is a thrill among itself, don't you think?
I've been reading a lot of articles in magazines like Rotor&Wing and Autorotation and some about mountain flying. What struck me when reading these articles was that the they were written in a manner that the common helicopter pilot, ( I reccon they were aimed at US pilots coz those ara US magazines.... but) isn't supposed to know anything about mountain flying??? So my questions to you experienced guys are:

What are your opinions on these articles and mountain flying?

Please tell us (the inexperienced) about your experience in this field(considerations, safety issues)?

I fly in Iceland and here we have some great mountains as many of you might have guessed an they sometimes seem to produce bad weather in almost every conditions.

Hope to hear many opinions.

Safe flying.

Edited for spelling, ( ARRRRR those special Icelandic letters)
