The Bell 212, registered C-FTAG, had been assigned to drop off passengers at a location 210 NM NW of Station Nord. On the return flight, the helicopter encountered reduced visibility due to fog and landed approximately 6 NM West of Station Nord. After waiting 24 hours, the pilot saw a clearing and felt the weather would allow him to travel to Station Nord. Shortley after passing a reference point which was actually closer than expected, the pilot lost all visual references. The pilot attempted a turn but the left skid contacted a snow bank at about 40 knots which caused the helicopter to roll over and crash onto its right side. The pilot was not injured. He was able to contact Station Nord via satellite phone and was rescued by snowmobile about 6 hours later. The helicopter was substantially damaged.
