Professional heliski pilots approach a lot faster to keep the snowball behind the aircraft until they touch down. They "drive" their helicopters right into the snow and always always always end up with their reference right next to them. Never loose your reference! That approach technique might not work for helicopters with wheel type landing gear though.
It does. A zero zero landing we called it. Run out of height speed and ideas at the same moment - and NEVER LOSE YOUR REFERENCE.
