Staying safe in the backcountry is critical. That’s why we’ve dedicated countless hours into engineering and designing cutting-edge snow safety equipment. First on the list is what every backcountry traveler MUST have before heading into the mountains, a beacon.

With up to 60m circular range, mark function for multiple burials, and three antennas for pinpoint search accuracy, Black Diamond offers industry-standard, professional-grade avalanche beacons with Bluetooth capabilities.

Our beacon's Bluetooth connection allows you to manage settings, software updates and battery optimization from your smartphone with the PIEPS app, while the housing features soft-touch contact points for improved handling.
