It is HIGHLY recommended for all clients to have a backcountry kit when coming down to participate in South America Snow Sessions. A Backcountry kit consists of a Avalanche Beacon, Shovel, Probe and an appropriate Backpack to carry it all. if you do not have these items it will severely limit the experience as off piste activities will not be allowed. SASS offers backcountry kit rentals at the rate of $150 per session. Kits can also be purchased through AvalancheTools.com by calling 1-866-680-0872 and letting them know you are from SASS.
