NEW SPONSOR!!
05 Jan 2012, Posted by in Latest News
The North American Ski Training Center (NASTC) has partnered with Backcountry Access of Boulder, Colorado to provide their clients and guides with the latest avalanche safety equipment. In the event of a slide, deploy the Float 30™ Avalanche Airbag Pack to add extra buoyancy in the moving snow. This helps to keep the wearer on the snow’s surface to avoid burial and asphyxiation. The Tracker2™ Beacon, the industry’s fastest and most precise triple antennae beacon, pinpoints the location of avalanche victims quickly and accurately. These tools along with probes and the lightest and strongest shovels on the market round out the gear.
Ultimately, you want to avoid scenarios that put you at risk of being involved in an avalanche. Proper education, planning and analysis of the risk factors can insure safer travels in the backcountry. Join NASTC for your AIARE avalanche training or for a guided backcountry day tour to expand your snow awareness and familiarize yourself with these essential safety tools.
