Avalanche Safety Set

SnowWind is the resort’s official lesson school and does not run company backcountry/out-of-bounds trips, so the avalanche set (beacon/probe/shovel) is not offered for instant online rental. If you are AST-trained, heading into the backcountry and genuinely need it, contact us on LINE and we’ll assess case by case.

Renting gear is not safety — get trained, never go alone, check the daily bulletin before you go.
