On Christmas Eve, Vil surprised me with an Avalanche Pack. The pack is designed with a giant floatation which you deployed if you start sliding with a hill. The idea is that the giant airbag will help you stay above the snow and not get buried underneath the 'snowy concrete'. They are very effective and 98% of people caught in avalanches don't get buried. With our backcountry snow sports, we had been talking about owning them- and now we do!
For your entertainment...here is the first demo of the pack. Sure hope to never have to use this!
