The downed helicopter, which was owned by Kelowna-based Skyline Helicopters but contracted to Northern Escape Heli-Skiing, was one of three carrying heli-skiers when communication was lost, Terrace RCMP said in a statement. The helicopter was found in a remote location only accessible by helicopter.
