The helicopter was logging in Telkwa Pass and had a load of logs when the drive train failed. The pilot discarded the load of logs and landed on a slope. The rotor dug into the slope and flipped the machine, which caused it to roll down the embankment causing extensive damage to the aircraft. No one was hurt.
