PIEPS iPROBE! The PIEPS iPROBE is designed to validate a prior pin-pointing
and additionally to determine the position of a buried victim. Together with an
avalanche transceiver and an avalanche shovel it belongs to the recommended
standard avalanche safety gear of back country skiers, freerides or mountain
rescuers! In combination with PIEPS avalanche transceivers (PIEPS DSP or PIEPS
Freeride) a new and efficient solution for multiple burials is given.

DEAR FELLOW MOUNTAINEER / SKIER!
IMPORTANT! A thorough under-
standing of the topic of avalanche
prevention is just as indispensable as
regular practice of victim search in
accident situations. In cases of multiple
burials in combination with transceivers
other than PIEPS DSP and PIEPS Freeride,
it’s recommended to use, to practice and
to apply well published general search
strategies and search methods.
