T R A N S C E I V E R S 🤓⁠
⁠
The safety side of the avalanche world has come a long ways. It use to be common practice to tie a rope to yourself so someone could find you if you were caught in an avalanche... I am talking way back when, don't try this 😂⁠
⁠
When shopping for a transceiver it can be overwhelming with all of the options. A couple of key things to looking for when purchasing a transceiver are👇⁠
⁠
>Is it a 3 antenna transceiver? Most are now a days but worth checking⁠
>Does it have a flagging / marking function? Extremely helpful in multiple burials!⁠
>What is the range of the transceiver? ⁠
>Does it have a group check mode? Not necessary but a very handy function to have at the trail head⁠
⁠
If possible it is great to test them out before taking the plunge 💰 ⁠
Most towns have great rental services that allow you to try an array of transceivers ✌️⁠

Knowing when to use the risers on our Splitboards can save substantial energy when you are our for a tour. No risers can be exhausting and keeping them down when your on the flats decreases your efficiency with each step. ⁠

Snow Pits 🤓⁠
⁠
Digging snow pits is a great way to track layers in our snowpack and get an idea of our snowpack stability. ⁠
⁠
Like anything we never want to put all our eggs in one basket, especially with pits. A good rule is to not allow results from a pit to give you confidence to step into bigger terrain than previously planned but do allow it to make you walk away. ⁠
⁠
Remember that pits vary greatly from location to location even when they are very close to one another. We want to add the information we gain from our pit to all the information we have previously gathered. This includes the avalanche bulletin, observations on the way in and reports from others in the region. ⁠
⁠
It is a tricky snowpack we are dealing with this season in the Purcells, remember that the higher level of uncertainty that we have the larger margin for error we want to leave ourselves. Conservative terrain choices are where it's at ✌️⁠

💃 Independence 💃⁠
⁠
The name of the game with our Ladies Sled Shred Camps.⁠
⁠
Our camps are a jam packed day full of learning techniques & skills to help you move through the mountains. On top of that we will show you the basics of sled maintenance so you can get yourself out of a jam & give you the low down on how to get your sled unstuck... trust us we have had A LOT of practice with this one 😂⁠
⁠
Our goal is for you to leave the camp feeling confident & able to head into the backcountry with your crew of ladies, knowing you have the ability to deal an array of situations you may get yourself into. ⁠
⁠
2020 camps - Jan 18th & Feb 15th in Golden!⁠
