Arriving at Mud Lake the pilot landed the helicopter on an Easterly heading in a small field which had a foot paths coming in from the east and west. After the Helicopter touched down, the pilot, who was unsure of what direction the passenger would enter from decided to turn the Helicopter 90 degrees so that he could see down both paths. He picked up the helicopter into a 4 foot hover, turned 90 degrees and started to lower the helicopter. As he was setting down, the tail rotor struck a snow bank and deflected the rotor back into the tail boom. The pilot rolled off the throttle and landed the helicopter without further incident.
