Avalung on Steep and Cheap

52% off. They normally cycle things for few days off and on if you miss it. In case anyone is looking for one, it's a good deal.
 
It's about 30 miles south of Sun Valley. I actually did a landscaping job in North Bend. Nice area.
 
I've been told to avoid the Avalung because when the avalanche starts, it is very difficult to the Avalung into your helmet. Backcountry skiers don't have that obsticle.
 
Slides have taken peoples clothes off, missing gloves, boots, snow in ears, mouths, cornholes, etc.

I never thought the chances of keeping or getting that tube in your mouth was all that good

I've got one and both points above are pretty valid. I've not had to test whether or not I could keep it in my mouth during slide or not, but it is tough to get a grip on it without using a hand get it in place under the helmet rim.

Otherwise a good idea.
 
That's why I haven't bought one. Seems like a good idea, but how would you keep it or get it in your mouth during an avy? Maybe if it was designed to sit inside your helmet where you might be able to get it. Wouldn't be for certain, and hopefully you wouldn't lose your helmet, but it would be a better chance of it working I think.
I just thought if someone was buying one I'd post it cause it's about half price.
