These are taken from my time in Austria. The thousands of skiers create an almost constant supply of work for these crews. I don't think there was a single day throughout the season when I didn't see this aircraft ferrying another injured skier/boarder off the mountain. I had quite a serious crash myself....unfortunately I was just 100m from the base of the slopes. Needless to say it didn't warrant a ride in the helicopter.
In these pictures, a female boarder had a nasty fall at a big air contest. Helicopter arrived and as you can see, significant snow spray must make the job all the more difficult.
