Avalanches and Airbags = Survival

If you want a reminder of how scary Avalanches are, watch these videos from survivors.

Both of these videos were taken by people wearing helmet cams who got caught in an Avalanche. Both are alive because they were wearing airbags.

Don’t go out of bounds unless you know what you are doing and have the proper training and equipment. Just owning the stuff is not good enough.

Do Something

If you are going to go out of bounds, go as a group, wear a beacon and KNOW HOW TO USE IT, take a shovel and a probe and make sure everyone else has one also and Buy and USE and Avalanche Airbag System.

My Favorites:

ABS Airbags
Mammut Avalanche Beacons
Either G3 Probes and Shovels
Or CAMP Probes and Shovels
