Snow Safety

In emergencies, rescue gear plays an important role. To be adequately prepared for an avalanche, the rescue gear you need includes an avalanche pack, beacon, shovel and probe. You need to practice several times with your gear before entering avalanche terrain to know how to properly and efficiently use your equipment. If everyone wore an avalanche airbag backpack as well as a transciever, two out of three deaths from asphyxia would be saved.
