#SendAndReturn:Making every trip a ROUND trip.

We’ve always been about innovative products, from developing the world’s first digital transceiver to popularizing avalanche airbags and hands-free two-way radios. But products are just a means to an end. In the end, we want to maximize fun and minimize avalanche fatalities. You’ll see our product line has evolved over the years to focus more on prevention, through knowledge and good communication—hence our BC Link radios and expanded education program.

We love riding big lines like everyone else, but none of those count unless you return intact. If you have a good #sendandreturn story to tell, send it along to [email protected]. We want to show others how it’s done!

STEALTH AVALANCHE PROBES

EVERY SECOND COUNTS Mike Duffy probes in debris. Note that after a transceiver search, probing should be

done perpendicular to the snow surface. Photo: Marc CirrincioneBCA probes feature depth-markings that are easy to see when

you’re performing a rescue or logging a snow profile, and our tip penetrates debris easily. Our Stealth Quick-Lock hardware creates a smaller bundle when folded up and eliminates loose cables that can whip you in the face when you’re furiously probing.

Bundling the backcountry essentials into packages makes it easier get geared up for your first trip in the backcountry.

www.backcountryaccess.com/educationGear is only a small aspect of snow safety. The process starts by taking an avalanche course, finding a mentor, and gaining experience. The gear aspect is crucial, but we make sure to keep it all in the proper context.

At BCA, we see ourselves as educators just as much as manufacturers. That’s why you’ll see that our website is education first, product next. Check out our downloadable Backcountry Basics and Companion Rescue webisodes. See our library of published research papers. Learn from our Success Stories, where we not only feature successful airbag deployments and beacon searches, but we celebrate everyday decision-making victories (#sendandreturn).

We’re a founding sponsor of AIARE (the American Institute forAvalanche Research and Education), we’re a major sponsor of theyouth-oriented Know Before You Go program, and we’re partners with the American Avalanche Institute (AAI), American Avalanche Association (AAA), Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA), and Avalanche Canada.

As a co-sponsor of the Backcountry Ascender (www.backcountryascender.com) online education program and the BRP Education Tour, BCA is at the forefront of supporting North American snowmobile avalanche education. Since our mission is to save lives, that’s just as important to us as selling products.

For the full story on BCA’s education program, make sure you visit www.backcountryaccess.com/education.

EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

BCA SNOW STUDY KITMany avalanche courses require their students to bring their own snow study tools. Ours were designed in conjunction with North America’s leading avalanche educators. The more reliable data you collect, the more reliable your decision-making will be.

Durable fabric carry case with a variety of pockets and slots includes: slope meter, crystal card, analog thermometer, and magnifying loupe. Each are also sold separately.

At BCA, our mission is to save lives, not just pump products. We test our gear in real avalanche terrain and back up our products with education and customer service. While we started out as a small group of crunchy backcountry skiers, many of our key staff are now dedicated mountain snowmobilers–just like our team of diehard sled ambassadors.
