We currently sell brands such as Mammut, BCA, Pieps, and Snowpulse. In fact we are the world’s largest dealer of the Snowpulse avalanche airbag. In the near future we also expect to sell Ortovox, ABS avalanche airbags, and the Avivest when it becomes available. Based in Golden, BC, Canada, we sell top of the line avalanche safety equipment; gear such as the Mammut Barryvox Pulse avalanche transceiver, the Pieps DSP transceiver, the Snowpulse Lifebag avalanche airbag, and the inexpensive BCA Tracker. We are experts in the field and can offer you advice on which product best suits your needs. We also offer avalanche skills training courses (AST Courses) for snowmobilers and skiers. These avalanche courses are based in Golden, BC and focus on avalanche terrain identification, avalanche rescue, interpreting the Canadian Avalanche Association’s avalanche bulletin, and safe backcountry travel techniques. We want all of our customers to come home after a great day in the mountains and we believe the products that we sell help people do just that. Have a safe winter.
