Once known as riding 'off-piste', but now almost universally known as 'backcountry', is what most of us love the most. This is where the powder is and the crowds aren't.
It's
in the backcountry, either by walking, skinning or simply taking off-piste
routes, that much of the real magic of the mountains is found.
However, going off-piste is as serious as going climbing or mountaineering. Only an idiot would do it poorly equipped or with a lack of knowledge. Unfortunately many do both.
These days there is no excuse for not taking the Holy Trinity with you
if you are heading off-piste. To be precise, you need:
|
1. Transceiver |
2. Probe |
3. Shovel |

How many people spend a few hundred pounds before their holiday on designer sunglasses and a trendy jacket? A transceiver and telescopic shovel can cost less than £200. It might sound like a lot, but it will last a lifetime - more important it may save your - or someone else's life.
So if you're heading out to the backcountry this season, make sure you've got your holy trinity...
