Ski tours Avalanche equipment for ski tours without risk
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 at XSPO can save lives
Freeriders and ski tourers are literally embarking on an adventure, as the weather conditions on the mountain are often unpredictable and the danger is high. Ski touring avalanche equipment must be carried by every athlete travelling 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 favourable price in the shop at XSPO and 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 belongs in your luggage on every trip. There is a very low risk on the pistes, and there is usually someone on hand to provide rapid assistance. On longer excursions in alpine terrain, however, skiers are 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 optimise 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 person to find themselves in a life-threatening emergency situation. The equipment, combined with an airbag rucksack, increases the chances of a quick rescue.
- Ski touring avalanche equipment should be carried by every skier who leaves the marked pistes.
- The equipment consists of three indispensable components: avalanche transceiver, Probe and shovel.
- Before setting off on a tour, you should practise using the equipment.
