PIEPS Freeride Avalanche Search Beacon

In an emergency, only one thing counts: unconditional hands-on reliability! To live up to this challenge, PIEPS counts on the collaboration with professional mountain guides, mountain rescure teams, skiing instructors and scientists for its product development. This know-how and more than 30 years of experience in the development and manufacture of avalanche search beacons is surety for the quality of our premium Alpine performance products. The Freeride can be deactivated temporarily by the iProbe and the searcher can focus on the next strongest signal. PIEPS provides the first truly 100% perfect safety solution for multiple avalanche burials. In open terrain, off the secured slope, never be without your PIEPS!

In an avalanche emergency, only one thing counts: unconditional hands-on reliability. Enter the PEIPS Freeride avalanche search beacon, the preferred tool for resort skiers who occasionally adventure off the beaten path. Compact and lightweight, the fully digital, single-antenna beacon is as small as a mobile phone. More significantly, the beacon offers a digital range of up to 40 meters--with directional indication at 30 meters--helping rescuers quickly locate your signal when buried under snow. In addition, the Freeride also helps locate other beacon signals depending on the mode you're using, with a send mode, a search mode, and an option for locating multiple beacons in a single avalanche. In the case of multiple burials, all signals are processed simultaneously, but only the strongest signal is shown on the display. However, users can also temporarily deactivate the Freeride via the iProbe function to focus on the next strongest signal, making PIEPS equipment the first truly reliable safety solution for multiple avalanche burials.

Other details include dynamic field line guiding, a fallback function in case of a second avalanche, and a synthetic generated tone.
