For all sledders: KSL is reporting "new" avy technology

[SledsWest]

Has anybody ever seen these crazy so-called air bag contraptions that strap to your back? Looks like the Europeans got it figured out for us and are coming over to edumacate us hillbillies. Maybe we should start using these when we go riding Maybe somebody should tell snowbigdeal.com to start marketing these.....

I guess "news" is "news" right? Be it 5 min old or 6 years old lol!

The Aspen Times newspaper picked up the story.

They even have a rare picture of these new contraptions.

I'm glad the news is finally getting information about the airbags. Hopefully it will increase awareness and save some lives!

If you don't

If you mountian ride and you don't wear one your chances of becoming an avalanche statistic are 98 % greater. If you can afford a sled you should have the gear probe, shovel,beacon,avy pack.
