Unlike airbags, which aim to keep you on the surface, the SBX tackles the most common cause of avalanche fatalities: asphyxiation.

It’s still Winter in Nprthern Norway - fun to catch up with some Raide SB super users from who are going into their 9th month of winter conditions this season.

Still powder at the end of April!

In the mountains, friction wins—no matter how experienced you are.

Mistakes don’t happen because you don’t know what to do, but because doing the right thing feels inconvenient. When you’re cold, tired, and under pressure—that’s the version of you making decisions. Design your systems—gear, habits, and routines—so the right choice becomes the easiest one, even in the worst conditions.

High snowfall across North America and Europe over the last few weeks has significantly increased avalanche risk, forcing ski traffic into ski areas or low-angle and often lower elevation terrain.

While avalanche risk may be managed by these terrain choices, chasing the deepest powder days can still result in complete burial in snow - either in a tree well, or if you happen to fall the wrong direction into powder and cannot self-rescue.

A "tree well" is a hole or depression that forms around the base of a tree and can contain a mix of low-hanging branches, loose snow, and air. Evergreen trees are the most likely to have large, deep tree wells that form when low-hanging branches block snow from filling in around the tree's base. Tree wells can be hidden from view by the tree’s low-hanging branches, making them difficult to identify. All tree wells should be treated as potentially dangerous.

Look for signs in ski areas like the one in the first picture. These mark tree well prone terrain. Talk with your partners about current hazards and make a plan to ski within your limits when these hazards might be present.

More than half of all SIS victims were with partners that did not see them go down. Lose sight of your partner and you could lose your friend. If you lose contact with your partner, assume they need help. Many SIS victims have died while their partners were waiting at the bottom of a lift.

The SBX backpack system from Safeback is designed to pull and deliver oxygen from snow if the wearer is buried by an avalanche, thus increasing their survival time. A group of intrepid volunteers has now proven how well the system works.

The 2025/2026 ski season has seen a significant number of avalanches across the world. Since December, scores of people have lost their lives to the phenomenon in the European Alps, the Pyrenees, and mountain ranges in Japan, Utah and Colorado in the US. Annually, about 150-200 people die from avalanches, which occur when upper layers of snow become unstable and rush downhill at speeds of up to 190 mph (about 300 km/h).
