If you plan to move in open snowy terrain where there is a risk of avalanche danger, avalanche equipment is necessary and is the basis of safety. Avalanche equipment must be perfectly controlled and carried with you at all times, because you never know...
Set includes:

 

  • Avalanche locator: A small electronic device worn on the body that sends signals to help rescuers locate people buried in an avalanche. It is an essential part of any avalanche safety kit.
  • Avalanche probe: A folding pole used to probe the snow to determine the exact location of a buried person. Probes are designed to be lightweight, compact, and easy to use.
  • Avalanche shovel: Compact, lightweight shovel designed to move snow efficiently. In the event of an avalanche, the shovel is essential for digging out a buried person or for creating a snow pit to analyse the snowpack.

 

For use in the field, all 3 components must be carried at all times and are more convenient to purchase as part of a set. Regular maintenance and training on the use of the avalanche kit is essential. Skiers and outdoor enthusiasts should complete a course on avalanche safety, to increase their knowledge and skills in avalanche risk assessment and mitigation. In addition, to make safe decisions in the field, it is essential to be constantly informed about current avalanche conditions and forecasts.
