Gearing up for your first avalanche safety class can feel daunting. First things first, you need to find the right beacon, shovel, and probe for your needs. Fortunately, Black Diamond and Pieps put together the Sport Avy Set to get you all the avalanche safety gear you need and nothing you don't. The kit comes with a DSP Sport Beacon which offers a maximum range of up to 50-meters in search mode as well as an easy to read digital screen, so you don't miss a thing when performing a beacon search. You'll be the fastest draw in your Avalanche 101 class thanks to the QuickDraw Tour Probe 280 which is long enough to perform fine searches in most avalanche debris but short enough that it won't be sticking out of your pack on every tour. Finally, Pieps added the Transfer 3 Shovel to the kit to give you a lightweight, reliable shovel capable of moving large amounts of snow, which is handy when shoveling snow pits, rescuing partners or digging your car out of the parking lot after a day full of free refills. Designed to get you the right gear the first time, the Sport Avy Set is the do-it-all package you need for your upcoming backcountry ski season.
