During the downwind leg of the approach to a heli-ski pickup the collective pitch was increased and the low rotor RPM warning sounded the engine throttles were again confirmed fully opened. The A/C was approximately 150 feet AGL and was autorotated straight ahead towards the snow-covered lake. The high sink rate of the aircraft and rapidly decreasing M-rotor RPM could not be regained. In the final autorotative flare the A/C landed hard but remained upright.The engine RPM on landing had remained at approximately flight idle despite the throttles being fully open. The engines were shut down and the A/C secured.
