AvyMarker

A sub-$20 avalanche tether balloon that marks your location, safety for every budget.

The Challenge

Life-saving gear priced out of reach: democratizing backcountry safety.

The Vision

Avalanche airbags cost over $1,000, so most backcountry riders go without. AvyMarker is an ultralight tether balloon marking a buried rider's position for a fraction of the cost, and a push to make avalanche safety gear affordable generally.
