Life-Link Slopemeter
The Life-Link Slopemeter is a useful tool to measure slope angle in steep terrain. The shaded area shows the angle at which avalanches are likely to occur. On the back is a Slopemeter topograph that allows you to determine slope angles from map contours. This is a sophisticated, inexpensive tool, and you will find it SUPER handy.

Cheap Insurance that will blow your mind
A thirty degree slope is steeper than most realize. Finding an objectively safe route is always best, and this is the best money you've ever spent on avy gear. Buy this BEFORE your first shovel, probe and pole. A must have!
Perfect
The Slope Meter is the perfect piece of gear...well made, simple and apparently indestructible. It is my sincere hope that the SAR folks never find it in my fanny pack.

Training Tips
Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.
One of the best ways to win a running race is to win it in your mind first. Visualize yourself running and winning that important race. The more often you do this, you will start to "feel" the race. Your heart will get pumping and your body will feel the effort required to get the job done.
Be serious about getting and staying in shape. Create a written plan that outlines the steps you are taking and the expected result by a certain date. Review your plan frequently and adjust as necessary. Do what it takes to get what you want.
Buy running gear made with performance fabrics - Supplex, Coolmax, Lycra, Goretex - that allow for full range of motion.
