This gets people into areas nor5mally not accessible. IMO, These areas need to be left pristine. Anyone that wants to go there can walk in and out.
plus, helicopters are very fuel expensive, and are anything but a green solution.
This is just more of affluent people raping the world. Both the wilderness and our dwindling petroleum resources, for what?
I know that a couple skiers o not really impact the environment that much. Multiply by the thousands that access this recreation and we start to get impacted.
