The snowboarder rode off the track despite the higher avalanche danger announced in mountains due to the new snow and the dynamic weather conditions.

After the signal, rescuers helped the tourist. Fortunately, he was not injured, but his actions endangered his life, rescuers said. Three avalanches fell in Pirin today.
