Two 22-year old French shredders – one skier and one snowboarder – were riding out of bounds late Friday at the Savignon ski resort in Graubünden, Switzerland and found themselves stuck on steep terrain and lost in a snowdrift. They called for an air rescue on their cell phone when it got dark.
As it always happens, their cell phone battery went dead but they got lucky when they were able to signal the rescue helicopter a little after midnight using the light on their MP-3 player. Temperatures at the time were around minus 15 Celsius and they were located on a wooded slope.
The two out of bounders were treated for mild hypothermia and are expected to make a full recovery.
