Avalanche Safety Gear

Backcountry skiing and snowboarding in avalanche terrain requires specific safety equipment — The Rugged Yuppie avalanche safety collection carries digital avalanche transceivers (beacons), extendable avalanche probes, and lightweight snow shovels in complete three-piece safety kit configurations. Every person in a backcountry group should carry a beacon, probe, and shovel and know how to use them before entering avalanche terrain.
