avalanche safety gear

avalanche safety in the mountains is imperative

There’s no way of completely eliminating the risk of avalanches when skiing or riding in the mountains. The best tool to keep you safe, however, is your knowledge of the terrain, snowpack, and rescue protocol.

Beyond knowledge, there’s equipment that no one should ski and ride the backcountry without. Teton Backcountry Rentals offers everything from the basic avy beacon, shovel, and probe to avalanche airbags and personal locator beacons.
