Avalanche Bag System

Tim got to demo the $1,000 avalanche protection system at our
avalanche class today. It costs about $80 to refill it for the next
time. When deployed, it has nearly a 100% survival rating.
You just pull a rip cord to inflate as soon as you feel you are in
danger. It helps keep you on top of the snow.

I'm in favor of anything that keeps you from being suffocated by an avalanche or from suffering a broken neck (Harrison's four-wheeler neck brace). Love, Toots
