The PIEPS iProbe II adds speed and accuracy to avalanche rescue searches by combining PIEPS†avalanche beacon electronics with a standard avalanche probe. In the event of an avalanche, the PIEPS iProbe II takes the guesswork out of searching by incorporating a low-range receiver beacon into the probe tip, allowing for increased strike area with optical and acoustical feedback to help pinpoint burials. The iProbe II features an auto on-off feature that turns the probe on when deployed and turns it off when folded. The 300-cm length provides maximum length for deep North American snowpacks, complex instabilities and improved avalanche education. The iProbe II also functions as a standard probe thanks to its fast-deploying speed-cone design, widened tip for pentrating avalanche debris, and collapsible, packable design.
