Got my Snowpulse

Whether it's Snowpulse or ABS it will give you the same end results both have different systems to store,activate or contain bags. Most important is to pull the bag the second you think you're in trouble.I was caught in a 2.5 last spring, I got knocked out impacting my sled. If I had not pulled the bag the second the slope released, I would not have the opportunity to deploy the bag! If you and your riding partner are both hit by a slid, your bag keeps you up, but your buddy and both sleds are buried, you have a big job to do with no shovel.



Have a safe winter!

thanks for the review of the snowpulse product. I've been wondering about the comparisons between the ABS and Snowpulse products. I'd like to see them side by side as well.

I except while the safest solution is to avoid the situation entirely, I do like the idea of the rapid deployment airbag for additional avalanche safety in the event I am caught in one.

In the fire dept., we 'drill' (practice) frequently on situations that may happen, with different variables, so that when those things happen we can instantly react, and not have to think about it. (just like we should train on beacon use regularly) So, naturally, I like the idea of the snowpulse, so that you can actually 'train' on it, pulling the handle a few times, to see how easy/difficult it is to deploy, what it feels like, etc. Being able to re-stuff it, and 're-load' seems to be a real plus to me. I was happy to read the product is well made.

Thanks!
