Chalo :Stopping on skis is part of the "fun", and can be the biggest challange, especially as almost all my landings on are double fall line slopes, up to 13 degrees or so. On the steeper slopes I DON'T stop, if I do I'll start sliding backwards, so I get it parked sideways to the slope before coming to a full stop. And, the same site landed at the same speed etc. a few hours later can yield vastly different results as the snow softens or get's harder, I never cogitate as hard doing any other type of flying, including summertime dead stick ridge soaring, as I do when setting up a mountain side ski landing.
Raisedbrows: Not only do I not have room for another person, I don't have room for another bike, But I do have room for the Travoy folder trailer, a small camp kitchen bag, a couple sleeping bags, folding lawn chair, mattress pad, etc., in other words enough for 1 person very basic camping. Oh, a small soft cooler for cold beer, that always seems to fit also.
LiveFor: I landed at 8900' a few days ago, but again, no room for another person! Actually, without the bike, I could......
Here's a shot of some tracks I left this early winter, with just enough snow for the ski plane but not too deep for the fatbike. Those are my ski tracks dissappearing into the sky, with the engine at idle, due to the slope aiding the takeoff. Getting the Montague e modified and the addition of the Rohloff hub, has increased the practicality of the plane a huge amount, as there is nothing worse then walking after flying in somewhere!
