Snow Safety Equipment

Snow safety equipment refers to gear used to protect individuals from the dangers of snow-related activities, especially in mountainous or backcountry areas. Key items include avalanche beacons, which help locate people buried in snow; probes for searching the snow; and shovels for digging victims out. Additionally, snow safety gear can include helmets for protection during skiing or snowboarding, as well as appropriate clothing to keep warm and dry. Using this equipment significantly increases safety and enhances the chances of survival in emergencies caused by avalanches or other snow hazards.
