If you live on the northeast than you got hammered with snow, wind, and icy rain this weekend. This recent winter storm was not quite blizzard or avalanche like conditions but definitely dangerous for those outdoors or in cars. However if you are petrified of being lost due to a severe weather occurrence than you may want the Ortovox S1 which is intended for those advanced skiers who may get trapped under an avalanche. The Ortovox S1 will pinpoint your exact location and help the guide using it, track you down and rescue you. It will even depict what position your body might be in. The Ortovox will tell you foot by foot how closer or how further you may be from the trapped person. Of course if you are the one trapped you will need to have this device on you as well, so it can transmit a signal to your rescurer. All I know, is that I think I’m getting this for when I go on the bunny slopes next time.
