Backcountry Access Slope Meter

When you’re scoping out your next backcountry ascent, bust out your Backcountry Access Slope Meter, align the bottom edge of the meter with the slope, and read the angle. Backcountry Access used yellow, orange, and red tabs to code slopes with the most avalanche potential so you have an extra little warning when the pow looks perfect but the slope is in the red zone.

Bottom Line: Be wary of the red.

Cheap, flimsy

These things break. Buy a nice compass with built-in inclinometer. It will be burlier, and is useful for more than 1 thing.

Gather important data quickly...

Does the job and always useful. Gives an important piece of data very quickly to help inform your decision-making in avalanche terrain.

They are a big larger than the size of a tic-tac container, as the previous reviewer noted, but still very small and portable.

Price seems a bit high, but I suppose you couldn't get much lower than $20-30.

Does what it's supposed to do ...

This is a slope-meter ! It works ! You can be very safe in the backcountry by knowing the slope of the pitches that you are shredding. Although not a necessary piece of backcountry equipment, if you are interested in snow study and are curious about the slopes of your shots - buy one, they're the size of a Tic-Tac container.
