Incident snowboarding in Bansko

The Mountain Rescue Service in Bansko made a full mobilization in order to help the two snowboarders who were stranded in the Demyanishka Valley of the Pirin. The rescue team recovered them and gave the support the snowboarders needed.

Both fans of the extreme winter sport had left the boundaries of the pistes and moved into the rough rocky area and were later stuck. Both of the snowboarders were Russians.

The distress signal was given from another tourist who had seen them. Such services are linked to the victims of such unfortunate events. The information is that, they were not seriously injured.
