Snowboarders saved from mountain

Two snowboarders were rescued from the Hellroaring Basin after going out of bounds at Whitefish Mountain Resort on Monday evening.

The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office received a call at 6:12 p.m. Monday. Sheriff Chuck Curry said that the boarders had cell phone service and called the ski patrol first, which later placed the call to his office. From there, it was just a matter of pinging their cell phone location.

North Valley Search and Rescue, Flathead Backcountry Nordic Patrol and Big Mountain Ski Patrol had the snowboarders out by 8:45 p.m. Monday.

“They had cell coverage, so it wasn’t too difficult,” Curry said.

The snowboarders were both young men, believed to be between 15 and 19 years of age.
