Leave the groomers behind and head into the backcountry with the Mammut Nirvana 35 Package. This avalanche safety package helps you stay prepared for emergencies while you search out an altered state of pow-filled bliss. Mammut included their PULSE Barryvox transceiver that features a 360-degree display and has three antennas to help you search for multiple victims. The Probe Light and Alugator Light shovel make for speedy recovery when time is of the essence. Store all the avie gear, your puffy, and a thermos of java in the Nirvana 35 pack, which also holds your skis or board on steep approaches. Mammut also included an emergency space blanket for unplanned bivies.

Bottom Line: Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Am I able to buy the Mammut Nirvana pack "standalone"

Am I able to buy the Mammut Nirvana pack "standalone" so to speak, that is without the avvy gear? Thanks.

Unfortunately not from bc.com, at least not at this time... who knows. altrec.com has it, but is currently out of stock. Just google it, you'll find it.

Holy, sweet awesomeness.

I don't even know where to begin with this one. The beacon is sweet, the bag is sweet, the probe is sweet, the shovel is sweet. For some reason, it doesn't come with the space blanket like the some of the other Mammut packages. But I'm happy enough with the rest of the gear that I didn't even flinch when I realized it didn't come with.

The beacon - Long story short, I really hope I don't have to use it, but if I do, I'm sure glad I've got it as opposed to anything else.

The probe is really long, and relatively light. Honestly, if I have ever have to use this thing to it's full extension, I'm probably going to be digging someone out of a HUGE avalanche. Most burials are in 6 or less feet of snow. That's probably why BCA is coming out with shorter probes now.

The shovel is great - good extension, lightweight, and the handle is big enough for my hand with a large ski glove.

The backpack is really great. Hydration pack compatible with insulated hose holder, really comfortable, lots of pockets, easily collapsible for lift riding, but still big enough (just barely) to fit a pair of boots (read: size 12 Sportiva mountaineering boots) or a helmet and all the avy gear, plus lunch, a puffy, and some odds and ends. Couple gripes with the bag, though. If you look at the pictures, there are two zippers that have straps going over them. It makes it a bit of a pain to open at times. There isn't a clip in the top of the bag that holds the hydration pack. Last gripe with the bag is that the waist strap seems like it was designed for a person with a 60" waist. Holy crap, even with gear, I've got an insane amount of extra nylon hanging there. Nothing scissors can't solve, though.

All in all, I'm super stoked to be skiing with this gear.
