    It isn't logging. Heli Towering?

    After at least 20 years of fighting, with lawsuits, appeals, the usual, our ski area gets more ground. This says they've named one of the runs, Treehugger. Is this a K-Max?

    I think I'll get a season pass next year, if they are still affordable. They offer them for half or less price if you buy in March.

    I am fairly sure that is a k-max.

    Kmax gets my vote as well. Never worked around them, but have seen them up close a few times.

    I've set a few towers underneath a k-max. I like the fact the pilot can see out of both sides and there is next to no downwash. They look pretty akward in flight though.
