Our mission is to save lives, not just develop and sell products. We’ve
interviewed hundreds involved in avalanche accidents. We regularly interact
with thousands of avalanche safety educators, snow safety professionals and
avid sledders. We are constantly asking the question: “What can we do to save
more lives?” This aggressive industry interaction and 22 years of snow-safety
DNA gives us the perspective to develop programs and products that will make
a difference.
Sometimes this means developing revolutionary technology, like our Tracker–the
world’s first digital avalanche transceiver. Sometimes it means taking an existing
technology and making it more accessible by making it lighter, more affordable,
or easier to use–like our Float airbags and BC Link radios. Or it can mean
developing better techniques, like “strategic shoveling.” Most importantly, it means
working with others in our industry to support and promote avalanche education.
Our goal is only to save lives: we’ll do whatever it takes–whether that means
new technology, new techniques, or just working hard to get people stoked
on education.

™ AVALANCHE AIRBAGs
According to the latest research, your chances of survival are twice as good if you’re wearing an airbag than if you’re not.
With that kind of statistic, why doesn’t everyone use one? Because until recently, they’ve been too heavy and too expensive.
Enter BCA’s Float system.
BCA Float systems live up to their name: they’re light, affordable, and easy to use. We’ve gone out of our way to make them the lightest
and most affordable airbags in their volume categories. We also have the world’s most extensive network of cylinder refill and exchange
centers. Like all of our products, we back them up with industry leading consumer education and exceptional customer service.

The weak point of most shovels is where the
shaft connects to the blade. This is where
we put the attention to detail and strength.
Our oval shaft and welded construction give
our shovels unbeatable strength.

BCA shovel blades lay flat in your pack with no
protruding ferrule or “neck,” leaving more room for
other backcountry essentials (and luxuries too).

AVALANCHE probes
EVERY SECOND COUNTS
PACKAGES
BCA probes have a new look and feel. Our new graphics are more than just
eye-catching. The depth-markings are easier to see when you’re performing
a rescue or analyzing depth. Our new tip penetrates debris easier. We’ve
maintained our Stealth Quick-Lock hardware, creating a smaller bundle when
folded up and eliminating loose cables that can hang up or worse, whip you
in the face, when you’re furiously probing.
Bundling the backcountry essentials into
packages makes it easier get geared up for your
first trip in the backcountry. Due to popularity, our
package offering is expanding with the addition
of the Stash 20 Kit and T3 package for 2016/17.

Bca team
At BCA, our mission is to save lives, not just pump products. We test our gear in real avalanche terrain and back up our products
with education and customer service. While we started out as a small group of crunchy backcountry skiers, many of our key staff
are now dedicated mountain snowmobilers–just like our team of diehard sled ambassadors.
