Win! an Ortovox Zoom+ Transceiver

We are giving away an Ortovox Zoom+ transceiver to one lucky winner who is prepared to do some homework on avalanche safety.

As avalanche safety specialists we have a range of guides available on most aspects of avalanche safety which you can find below.

This competition will be a break from the usual ones and depending on your experience may require a little bit of digging through our Avalanche Safety articles. If you’ve got your first tour coming up you should be reading through these anyway!

To motivate you further we are giving away an Ortovox Zoom+ to one entry who answers the question correctly. Only answers matching what is stated in one of the above safety articles will be accepted.
