activate in an avalanche situation – and therefore the
likelihood of staying on the surface. The ABS

a member of your group if you are in group mode. In
an emergency, each group member is able to activate
the airbags of the other members. You can activate
your own ABS Avalanche Airbag at any time using the
®
ABS P.RIDE System.

®
with an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe.
