Helisika fly in, usually organised once a year in February or November.

Remember safety around choppers:
* Approach the chopper only when directed by the pilot. Listen carefully to pilot’s instructions.
* Never approach the chopper from the uphill side or you will walk down into the unseen spinning
rotor blades.
* Keep well clear of the rear end / tail rotor at all times.
* If hovering when you board, transfer your weight slowly, don’t suddenly climb on.
* When destination is reached wait for pilot to open doors unless instructed otherwise.
* Never leave the chopper and head uphill or you will walk up into the rotor blades.
* Never throw any gear when unloading. Place heavier gear over lighter gear in safe area.
