The Backcountry Access analog thermometer is a valuable snow safety tool that allows you to accurately measure the temperature gradient of the snowpack. With the ability to measure the snow and air’s temperature, you can prevent an accident by avoiding avalanche terrain. This product comes with a sling for easy attachment to skis during air temperature reading. Be sure to bring the thermometer on your next backcountry excursion.

BCA designed its snow study tools in conjunction with North America’s most experienced avalanche educators. Backcountry Access snow study tools allow you to gather all of the data you need, without breaking the bank.

The BCA Tracker S™ Avalanche Transceiver has the performance, ease of use and instantaneous real-time display of the Tracker3, without motion-sensing or upgradeable software, which are advanced features needed by snow professionals while in an avalanche area. This Backcountry Access beacon is used to find people while in an avalanche and prevent death or injury by locating the transceiver.

The BCA Slope Meter is a lightweight multi-use tool for your pack. Designed with an inclinometer and a built-in compass to measure slope angle and aspect, this appliance is pocket-friendly and easy to carry with a lanyard attachment point. This Backcountry Access product has a metal ball inside a liquid-filled tube that measures the slopes angle when placed perpendicular to the snow. With an angle range of zero to sixty degrees, you can test to see if a slope is too steep and avalanche prone.

Used with a pencil, the pages are waterproof so you can collect data even on the wettest days.

The field book includes the AIARE Communication Checklist, AIARE Decision Making Framework, and AIARE Observations Reference. Along with the AIARE information, you will use the 50 format pages for entering trip plans, field observations, and snow profiles to make educated decisions while in the backcountry.

The Lexan polycarbonate crystal card provides a surface to analyze/classify snow grains and also has a slope index, which allows you to determine slope angles from a topographical map. Snow crystals placed on the card become recognizable and sizable. Ideal for sunnier climates, the Lexan crystal card does not absorb as much radiation as the aluminum crystal card, which allows you to study snow crystals longer and more accurately. This small yet very informational tool will take your snow safety skills to a new level.

The aluminum crystal card provides a surface to analyze/classify snow grains and also has a slope index, which allows you to determine slope angles from a topographical map.
