If you work or play in the snow, the key to avoiding avalanches is understanding the snowpack, the conditions that cause them, the terrain where they are likely to occur, and the specific nuances of the snow where you intend to travel. A snow science kit and the snow study tools that are included in them are key components in order to do this right.
Besides having a working knowledge of basic avalanche protocol it is important to have a snow study kit with the right snow study tools to help you assess the snow pack. When you're ready to know your snowpack, a Brooks-Range snow science kit and the snow study tools that we include in them will get the job done with scientific accuracy that won't weigh you down.
Brooks-Range snow science kits, study tools, snow saws and avalanche probes are the best you will find. We have developed these tools with professionals and hard-core mountaineers who depend on this information for their job and their safety.
The Kevlar® carbon construction of the 240+ Carbon Pro Avalanche Probe is ideal for backcountry adventures.
The 240 Aluminum HD Probe is the ideal combination of length, price and stability.
The Brooks-Range Igloo 35 Folding Saw snaps into place when unfolded. Once extended, the folding saw easily attaches to the telescoping shovel shafts, ski poles, ice axes and just about anything else for extending its reach.
The Scientist35 has a blade length of 35 cm and a total length of approximately 17.5" (44cm).
Features a dual scale (-50 C to +150 C/-58 F to 302 F). Fast 1-second update time.
Our Dial Stem Thermometers read degrees in Celsius only since it is the standard scale for international studies in snow science. It comes with an easy-to-read one-inch diameter dial and five-inch long stem. The stainless steel stem has adjustment for calibration. Includes a case with a clip.
Our Brooks-Range Rutschblock Cord provides greatly improved performance over the traditional knotted rope, producing effective snow profiles with minimal effort. The Rutschblock Cord is virtually indestructible. The large loop handles at both ends of the Cord allow for easy grasp with gloves. This cord is made of 3/64” industrially rated steel cable with a “Safety Orange” PVC coating with a working strength of about 270 pounds.
Excellent tool for viewing snow crystals in the field. Folds flat for compact storage (2.25" x.1.5" x 0.5"). 10X Magnification. Inch and metric scales.
