Backcountry Access Snow Study Kit

Snow Study Kit

One of the standard backcountry practices for snow safety involves knowing what the heck is going on in that snow you´re planning to ride—particularly the aspect you´re hoping to pick. Armed with this Snow Study Kit and the knowledge of a few avalanche courses, you can help decide whether the situation is safe, or whether you should head home and try again another day.
