San Francisco Man Rescued After Skiing Out of Bounds at Kirkwood |
Posted by: thepinetree on 02/12/2024 03:30 PM

Kirkwood, CA...On the evening of February 10th, the Amador County Sheriff's Office received a report that 34-year-old Mihayl Petkov of San Francisco was in a remote location east of Silver Lake and needed help. Petkov had gone skiing at Kirkwood and went out of bounds off the back side of the mountain. He attempted to ski to safety, but fell in the powder and was unable to reattach his skis. After hiking in several feet of snow until dark, he was able to send a message from his phone asking for friends to call for help. Amador Search and Rescue personnel responded with snowmobiles and a snowcat provided by PG&E, but they were unable to access Petkov due to the dangerous conditions at night. A CHP Helicopter responded and located Petkov, but was also unable to access him. The following morning, the snowmobiles, the snowcat, and the helicopter made a second rescue attempt, this time accompanied by Kirkwood Ski Patrol. This time, the CHP helicopter was able to find a safe place to land and transported Petkov back to Kirkwood.
