Airplane on Glacier

On my recent trip to America I took a plane ride around Mt. McKinley in Alaska, the tallest mountain in North America, at over 20,000 feet. The plane landed on a glacier in the mountains, using ski's. I will have a longer, better video of the flight later. Here's the text:
Okay, here we are, we just landed on the Ruth Glacier in our DeHaviland Beaver. Our pilot Rico landed us here, and it was a beautiful thing, a beautiful thing.
We're gonna take off from the glacier, so--you ever see a plane land on ski's?
Okay, and then we're gonna head down that way--I'll have J.D. show us a little panorama of the beautiful mountains. We're gonna take off from the glacier and sail off into the sunset!
