Flying in snow

Just put my 44 away after a very nice local jolly in the snow. 5 inches on the ground and light snow falling.

I have never done it before so took the precaution of hovering a few inches off the pad just to see what I might expect on the approach.

No drama, lots of fun despite a backbreaking hour shovelling snow first.

Well worth the effort - the scenery was just stunning.
