Being prepared for your adventure in the Snowy's is key to a fun rewarding outing. The weather is nearly unpredictable in the high elevations and can change fast. Every season there are numerous accounts of individuals and groups getting lost, running out of fuel or injured while recreating in the Snowy's. Please take a moment before each ride and outfit yourself properly for the ride. 

Here is a list of items we choose to carry with us:

Avalanche Gear:

• Shovel in your backpack not on your sled.
• Probe in your backpack not on your sled.
• Beacon attached to you, not in your backpack or on your sled.
• Don't forget the training! If you have had the training, you will know why your gear belongs with you and not on your sled...
