Avalanche equipment should be carried by every winter sports enthusiast who leaves the pistes and groomed trails. There is a high risk of avalanches in alpine terrain and with the right equipment, athletes are prepared for emergencies.

Ski touring avalanche equipment from XSPO can save lives

Freeriders and ski tourers are literally embarking on an adventure, as weather conditions on the mountain are often unpredictable and the danger is great. Ski touring avalanche equipment must be carried by every athlete who goes off-piste. This equipment enables skiers to act quickly and effectively in an emergency and to protect themselves in the best possible way.

The equipment consists of several components and every winter sports enthusiast should buy it complete. This is possible at a reasonable price in the XSPO store, so nothing has to be left to chance on ski tours. Complete ski touring equipment consists of an avalanche transceiver, known as an avalanche transceiver for short, a probe and a shovel.

Ski touring avalanche equipment should be in your luggage on every trip. There is a very low risk on the slopes, and there is usually someone on hand to provide rapid assistance. On longer excursions in alpine terrain, however, the skier is at the mercy of the capricious weather and there is usually no rescue in the event of an avalanche. With this equipment, winter sports enthusiasts can help themselves in an emergency and optimize their chances of being rescued quickly.

Without this important equipment, the chances of survival in an emergency are drastically reduced. It only takes a few minutes for a buried victim to find themselves in a life-threatening emergency situation. The equipment, combined with an airbag backpack, increases the chances of a quick rescue.

• Every skier who leaves the marked pistes should have avalanche equipment with them.
• The equipment consists of three indispensable components: avalanche transceiver, Probe and shovel.
• Before going on tour, you should practise using the equipment.
