A lot of back country is accessed by ski lift. Every resort that I ride at has open boundaries. You ride a lift and at the top there is usually a gate for hiking to the goods. Brighton Snowbasin Powder Mountain the Canyons. All have open boundaries. So if I were ever to ware one it would be in a resort. Check out my video on avalanche aftermath it is out of bounds and accessed by Crest a lift at Brighton.
Information about surviving there giving in this movie is not true. 93% of people that get burried survive within the first 15 minits. However, getting saved is something else.
Show some real tests like putting that thing in 4 feet of hard packed snow and detonating it. Then shove a broken pole or a sharp tree limb into the bag.. False security if you ask me..
Well, listen you newbie asshole. My friend pulled up a mangled body last season and two that were about 25 feet under hard pack were never found. Only the most elite would be able to pull the cord when they feel the snow break under their bindings. I want to see some logical test done to prove the equipment. I ride off piste every day and deal with the risk of avalanches every day. I can afford one, my friends and I are just skeptical. Money is not an object when it comes to safety you fag.
dude, you are a poser. we were riding off piste when you were still shitting your pants. go read another avalanche book and pretend like you belong in the snow.
If you get caught in a 4ft hard slab avalanche you're pretty much screwed regardless of what gear you have. The principle behind this is genius, which is floating on top of the avalanche since you increase your effective volume. It's buoyancy, and it does protect to a degree against collisions. A $1000 is a chunk of change though...
Ive have always wanted to pull the cord on one of these in a packed tram car

Those stats are incorrect (at least for the Rockies), 50% die from trauma and 50% die from burials.
Regardless, these things are way better than an avalung.

If I ever see one of those things on a ski lift I am going to reach over and pull the rip cord.

@BP3DP I don't think you'll ever see one of these bags in a resort. That's not really the point.

pffffft... since when does 4 feet of hard packed snow avalanche? and dont you think a tree limb is better off piercing your bag then your neck?
false security? that is only when you treat this device as security from an avalanche in the first place.
you dont know what you're talking about, you bash these airbags just because you cant afford one

well your dumbass friend probaly entered an avalanche zone with a Natural terrain trap such as a gully. That's a poor choice on their part
SkiTheNW 2 years ago
yes he did, to save lives. we enter dangerous areas to help others out quite often here. thank you dr know it all.
STORM6490MT 2 years ago
