VPAW alpine rescue

August 2005 a back country skier slid 300 metres down Mt Feathertop, and has posted video footage of his winch rescue by the VPAW Dauphin.

The first video is good for background and a bit of blood, but the

Part 2 of the winching and Part 3 inside aren't bad.

Mt Feathertop is a tricky area to fly around, with typical 6000 ft wind shear off a razorback ridgline. Not somewhere that I'd like to winch: BZ the crew
