GLACIER TRAVEL & CREVASE RESCUE GEAR LIST

This is a list of the essentials you should bring on your ski mountaineering course. The gear listed within is our current favourite piece in each individual category and is by no means the definitive choice. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about alternatives. All items are linked to online stores and partners where we shop ourselves.  We work with some amazing partners. When possible and appropriate, we like to send our guests their way to keep the good vibes going, and to do that we use affiliate links.

If you have a system and equipment that you use for crevasse rescue and/or rock rescue definitely bring it. It’s great to practice with the kit you have and would bring with you. The below list has the bare minimum.
