TACTICA

TACTICA

A set of ski poles designed for back country skiers. The poles are designed to provide a visual cue on the surface of the snow in order to pinpoint the location of anyone buried in an avalanche. This would negate the need for both transceiver and probing searches, massively reducing rescue times and enabling inexperienced rescuers with a better chance at saving any buried victims.
