Helicoptères Transit Bell 206 C-GMAH was on a moose census flight when its engine cut out during a low pass (300 feet). The pilot had an ""engine relight"" indication, and attempted to glide to a lake but had to land in a river bed. The aircraft landed hard and came to rest on its left side. The occupants evacuated the aircraft, and two individuals that sustained minor injuries and were given first aid. The pilot contacted the company by satellite telephone, gave each occupant a pair of snowshoes, and led them to a road one mile from the wreckage. They were met there by vehicles, given assistance, and driven to hospital.
