Testing the SNOWPULSE in La Grave.

SNOWPULSE

The Snowpulse “Life Bag” is a backpack integrating an avalanche airbag that significantly increases survival chances in case of avalanches. Intended for winter sport amateurs and professionals, they are part of the safety equipment that should always be carried as a beacon, probe and shovel.

 

Similar to a life-vest used in water, the « Life Bag » keeps you on your back with your head out of the snow. With its innovative position and its 150 Litres, the “Life Bag” is the best solution for avoiding asphyxiation. 80% of avalanche fatalities are due to lack of oxygen when buried.

 

Snowpulse airbags are designed to provide the best personal protection, while remaining light, compact and user friendly. Their key advantages are:

The “Head on Top” technology, keeps your head out of the snow

Shock and trauma protection

Time saving during rescue because the airbag is easy to located on the surface

The lightest and most compact airbag system

Simple and ergonomic release system. A system easy and cheap to re-use

Possibility to refill the cartridges (see conditions)

Never Ending Late Season Snowfall.

One Powder Run Down The Vallon Made The Day!

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

With only 12 people arriving at the top before the lift closed this created the perfect powder pleasure dome.  A short bit of white out, a long, long descent of fresh tracks.  At P1 greeted by the lifties ready to take 12 people down.   A beer at the bottom.  Perfect! JOHN
