I don't think I usually speculate on these things and I haven't read the news stories but based on what is described in the above comments, this sounds more like disorientation than CFIT.
CFIT would be flying along and accidentally hit a mountain in the fog right?
A rapid climb followed by a dive into the ground if I am understanding, sounds like the pilot may have gotten out of sorts mentally.
Does a helicopter have a button you can push like on a toy drone (and I am not even kidding) where you hit it and it will stop and hover in place?
Seems like that should be possible and would give the pilot a moment to shake the cobwebs out.
Is it possible it’s both? Got disoriented then tried a 180 to GTFO of there then right into the hill?
