Avalanche Safety

When skiing out of bounds, there’s always the risk of an avalanche. It’s imperative that you know what you are doing and have the gear that will allow you to rescue your mates and be rescued yourself. Not only is it essential to have the holy trinity, Avalanche Beacon, Probe and Shovel, but the knowledge of how to use them is just as important. 

Pieps offer a package in the DSP Sport set, which comes with a suitable Beacon Probe, Shovel combo. Or you can piece one together yourself. With great options from Mammut, Black Diamond, BCA and G3. We have you covered on the safety front.

Avalanche Airbags are another piece of the puzzle that can help you out in a pinch but are not to be used in isolation.

The Backcountry is not a place to go unprepared, get in touch and we may be able to help you out, whether its a decision on a piece of gear, or recommendation of a safety course to do.
