Tori Palmer, Helicopter Pilot

This past Saturday, Jonathan had a phenomenal day in the mountains with Chugach Powder Guides, and our helicopter pilot, Tori Palmer. So he sat down with Tori to get her pilot’s perspective on the day, and to discuss her path to becoming a heli pilot and the training that’s involved; what you should - and should not - do as a passenger in a heli; and more.
