Enjoy peace of mind in unpredictable terrain with our selection of reliable avalanche safety gear and equipment.












Head into the backcountry with avalanche safety gear and equipment. An avalanche transceiver, also called an avalanche beacon, sends and picks up a signal so a buried person can be located, while probes pinpoint the exact spot once that signal narrows down. Follow up with snow shovels designed for fast, efficient digging through dense avalanche debris. Whether you're building a new safety kit or replacing older pieces, our selection covers a range of equipment worth having in your pack before you leave the trailhead.
Reach for an avalanche rescue kit to build a complete setup, or start with the avalanche essentials and add pieces as your trips get longer or more remote. Carry it all in an avalanche safety backpack designed to hold your rescue gear alongside layers, water and snacks for the day. An airbag pack is also available for backcountry skiers. Together, these avalanche safety solutions and protective gear cover most of what a day in the backcountry calls for.
Backcountry days call for more than rescue equipment alone. Hand, toe and foot warmers keep you comfortable through long, cold mornings on the mountain, and accessories like spare batteries, repair parts and carry pouches are great additions to your pack. Pair your rescue setup with ski boots, alpine skis, ski bindings or ski and snow goggles to complete your kit before you head out.
Explore our full range of alpine skiing equipment and gear to gear up for your next trip into the backcountry.
