Two Days, One Lifeline: Rent Avalanche Gear for Cody’s Backcountry.
In the high-country around Cody, Wyoming, avalanche terrain demands equipment as fundamental as your skis or splitboard.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
A Complete Avalanche Rescue Set
The rental bundles the core items every party should carry into avalanche terrain: a pack to carry essentials, a shovel for fast digging, a probe to pinpoint a burial, an avalanche transceiver (beacon) for search and a radio for voice communication between parties.
Tools Designed for Time-Critical Response
Avalanche incidents are time-critical; having the right digging, probing and transceiver tools on hand is the difference between a manageable rescue and a catastrophe.
Group Radios Keep Teams Coordinated
Long before a beacon is needed, clear radio communication helps teams manage route choice, coordinate searches and call for outside help if conditions worsen.
What the day feels like
What It Feels Like to Carry It
The experience is straightforward and utilitarian: reserve the kit, sling the pack and head for the slopes with the assurance that your party carries the standardized tools for locating a buried partner, conducting a quick probe line and digging efficiently—plus voice radios to manage movement and coordinate a response if an incident occurs.

Details to review before reserving
This is a two-day rental package—reserve for the window you need and plan returns accordingly.
The rental includes a backpack, shovel, probe, avalanche transceiver (beacon) and radio; bring personal layers, navigation and any personal protective equipment you normally use in the backcountry.
Book your rental gear with Beartooth Rides and Guides and pick up the kit before your outing so the group departs fully equipped.
Because avalanche incidents are time-critical, ensure all party members know how to operate the transceiver, conduct a probe line and perform efficient shoveling before entering avalanche terrain.
