Video: Float Airbag in Action, Summit County 1.25.12

(Last Updated On: January 29, 2012)

Check out this video of a slide near Montezuma just a few days ago. Apparently this was a run in a “friendly, winner-take-all” competition. Plenty to talk about regarding backcountry competitions in questionable terrain with the sketchy CO snowpack this year, but we’ll leave it up to commenters. Thankfully the BCA Float Airbag worked well…

Wonder if they sell the most important piece of backcountry gear here:

Kudos if you know what it is. Stay safe out there folks.
