WHY DO I NEED AVALANCHE GEAR?
When traveling in avalanche terrain, having the proper gear is essential for safe, responsible backcountry travel. These tools can help you assess snowpack stability or rescue an avalanche victim. Remember, there is no time to get help. Therefore, we require avalanche gear rental with all of our snowmobile rentals.

Avalanche Transceiver
Avalanche rescue beacons (also called transceivers or locators) have proven to be the only reliable way to locate a completely buried victim. Each person wears a transmitting beacon. If someone is buried, the surviving members turn their beacons to receive and they can quickly locate the buried victim. Several companies manufacture avalanche beacons and they all operate on the same frequency.
Avalanche Probe
An avalanche beacon will put you over a buried avalanche victim, but digging in dense avalanche debris is often very time consuming, so it’s essential to get an exact location. That’s where probes come in. Also, probes are the only way to find a victim who was wearing an inoperable beacon. Assemble probes like tent poles, toss the sections out on the ground and shake the pole sections while gently pulling the tension cable at the top.
Avalanche Air Bag
A lightweight, comfortable pack is a key element to carry you backcountry gear. Our packs have features that allow you to organize your gear for convenient access. They will for surely carry the basics like your shovel, probe, repair and first aid kits, and extra clothing. Our packs have a waist and sternum strap to keep the load secure during your riding activities.
Avalanche Shovel
Everyone needs a shovel! Not only to dig out a buried victim, but to dig snowpits to assess the snowpack and even to dig out your snowmobile when it gets stuck. Modern, reliable shovels are constructed out of strong lightweight aluminum.
