Lake Wanaka (2 August 2011) - Competitors at the 2011 World Heli Challenge were treated to another amazing day yesterday during the final day of competition, the Extreme Day at Mt. Albert.  The day started in a most unusual way, with athletes and event crew boarding a barge that crossed the upper tip of Lake Wanaka heading towards the base of the Minaret Station.  The barge became the launch site for the helicopters, providing an extra element of excitement for the day ahead.
