Avalanche Equipment – Safety and Security in the Backcountry
When you leave the groomed slopes behind and seek the best freeride lines, avalanche equipment is as essential as skis and poles. We offer a carefully selected range of products that provide you with security in the mountains – regardless of your experience level. We offer avalanche backpacks, avalanche transceivers, avalanche shovels, and probes from leading brands such as Mammut, Black Diamond, and Ortovox.
Your Safety Starts with the Right Equipment
The right equipment can be crucial in an emergency. A complete avalanche setup consists of:
-
Avalanche Transceiver (transmitter/receiver): Helps you to be located if you get caught under the snow and to locate a person buried in snow.
-
Avalanche Shovel: Used to dig out a person quickly and efficiently.
-
Probe: Allows you to find the exact location of the person before digging.
-
Avalanche Backpack: Equipped with an airbag that can keep you on top of the snow in the event of an avalanche.
We always recommend that you regularly practice using the equipment. It can make all the difference if an accident occurs.
Knowledge is as Important as Equipment
Carrying the right avalanche equipment is only part of safety. It's equally important to understand how and when to use it. Consider taking an avalanche course, learn to read the terrain, and keep an eye on avalanche forecasts before heading out.
Tips for Your Purchase
- Choose equipment that is lightweight and easy to use.
- Check the battery life and range of your transceiver.
- Practice with your equipment before you head out.
