We’ve interviewed hundreds involved in avalanche accidents. We regularly interact with thousands of avalanche safety educators, snow safety professionals and avid sledders. We are constantly asking the question: “What can we do to save more lives?” This aggressive industry interaction and 22 years of snow-safety DNA gives us the perspective to develop programs and products that will make a difference. Sometimes this means developing revolutionary technology, like our Tracker–the world’s first digital avalanche transceiver. Sometimes it means taking an existing technology and making it more accessible by making it lighter, more affordable, or easier to use–like our Float airbags and BC Link radios. Or it can mean developing better techniques, like “strategic shoveling.” Most importantly, it means working with others in our industry to support and promote avalanche education. Our goal is only to save lives: we’ll do whatever it takes–whether that means new technology, new techniques, or just working hard to get people stoked on education.

Our bombproof line of shovels are the first in the industry with non-round (oval) shafts, for additional strength without added weight. Connect that to our heat-treated, neckless blades and we have the strongest and most packable shovels you can find. Our oval shaft, welded construction, and T6 heat treatment give our shovels unbeatable strength and mean our Bomber shovels live up to their name. D-2 EXT Dig like a machine.

The weak point of most shovels is where the shaft connects to the blade. This is where we put the attention to detail and strength. Our oval shaft and welded construction give our shovels unbeatable strength. BCA ambassador mike duffy digs like a machine with his d-2 ext “dozer.” BCA shovel blades lay flat in your pack with no protruding ferrule or “neck,” leaving more room for other backcountry essentials (and luxuries too). original Photo: Tucker Neary 7 AVALANCHE probes EVERY SECOND COUNTS PACKAGES BCA probes have a new look and feel. Our new graphics are more than just eye-catching. The depth-markings are easier to see when you’re performing a rescue or analyzing depth. Our new tip penetrates debris easier. We’ve maintained our Stealth Quick-Lock hardware, creating a smaller bundle when folded up and eliminating loose cables that can hang up or worse, 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.
