An injured Bend man is recovering after hitting a tree  on his snow bike Saturday afternoon. At about 2:30 p.m., Deschutes County Search and Rescue volunteers responded to a call of a 46-year-old who had been injured near Kwohl Butte, around two miles south of Mt. Bachelor. Six SAR volunteers traveled to the scene with the snowmobile and medical teams. Close to 5 p.m, the crews arrived at the man’s location where they evaluated him and called for Airlink. The helicopter arrived near the Kwohl Butte Shelter at around 7 p.m. and transported the patient to St. Charles in Bend.
