IT’S IMPORTANT FOR EVERY BACKCOUNTRY SKIER AND RIDER TO CARRY A SHOVEL, AVALANCHE BEACON, AND PROBE ALONG WITH BASICS- LIKE EXTRA CLOTHING, HIGH ENERGY FOOD, AND PLENTY OF WATER. CARRYING AND KNOWING HOW TO USE AN AVALANCE BEACON CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INCREDIBLE STORY AND AN AVOIDABLE DISASTER; AND A SHOVEL CAN HELP YOU DIG OUT A SHELTER FOR THE NIGHT OR A FRIEND IN NEED. TRICK IS, TRAIN WITH THE GEAR, REMEMBER TO TAKE IT WITH YOU, AND ONLY GO WITH THOSE YOU TRUST! NOW THAT YOU’VE GOT THE BASICS, HEAD-OUT AND HAVE FUN - AND SHOULD YOU FIND YOURSELF IN-OVER-YOUR-HEAD, KNOW THAT WE’RE HERE TO HELP... 9-1-1 IS JUST A CALL AWAY. |
