I did see a helicopter flying in but nobody knew why either.
From the "Snohomish County Helicopter Rescue Team's" Facebook page:
HRT was called to Whatcom County on Friday to rescue a snowmobiler who sustained critical injuries when he fell off a 20 foot embankment. The 450 pound machine landed on top of him. His friends pulled the machine off and called for help. HRT responded to the 4500 ft. level of Watson Lakes and quickly hoisted him out and transported him to the hospital. Subject was extremely hypothermic from landing in an icy creek. The actions by his friends and quick response from HRT likely saved his life.
