Ski Rescue Tarp
The Ski Rescue Tarp, developed with testing done by American Mountain Guide Association members, is a lightweight, durable, and reusable piece of safety equipment that aids in getting injured backcountry skiers out of danger and to locations where they can receive medical attention. Primarily designed for backcountry skiers needing reliable, compact emergency equipment, it's also ideal for anyone venturing into remote, snowy conditions. The Ski Rescue Tarp can serve as a protective ground cover or a shelter from the elements, offering peace of mind and multi-use practicality.
When used correctly, the Ski Rescue Tarp can be a lifesaver. It's built with ALUULA Durlyte fabric that features the same material properties as a ski base, and, after positioning skis to create a gurney-like framework, a properly wrapped and secured patient can be ferried across snowy environments to safety and medical attention.
