Not too useful

By robin.m.j2320457 Ranked #122 - Avalanche Safety February 24, 2009

I got this mostly because I needed a small compass that I could strap to my jacket for quickly checking aspects. However, the compass is sticky and jittery- I could have got the same thing by buying some trinket at wal-mart. The dials aren't capable of storing too much information about the conditions- you're better off printing or drawing an avalanche forecast "rose" and keeping in a windowed lift ticket pocket.
The clinometer is somewhat useful, however.
