Essential Backcountry Ski Gear

By Backcountry reviewer: JWing Ranked #477 - Avalanche Safety April 30, 2003

The next time your friends are doing a beacon practice, try holding your hold your breath until they uncover your beacon. That should be enough to convince you to always use an Avalung in steep terrain. The Avalung is well- designed, weighs the equivalent of two feathers and is not noticeable when you are wearing it. It slips on or off in a second.
