Package Black Diamond Avalanche Package
The Black Diamond factory is located just miles from one of the most avalanche prone locations on earth, the Wasatch Front. This far western edge of the Rocky Mountains is defined by steep peaks, heavy snowfall and an over abundance of natural and human triggered avalanches. In this terrain Black Diamond has developed their avalanche equipment. Two of these backcountry essentials are no strangers to snowbound travelers, the Tele Lynx shovel and QuickDraw 190 probe. A piece of gear that is fast becoming an out of bounds favorite is the Avalung II. Allowing you to inhale more oxygen while under the snow, the Avalung II gives you valuable time when buried in the backcountry. Please remember, it is not enough to just carry this package of avalanche gear with you. Everyone in your group must learn how to use it and know the local conditions before you go.

Training Tips
After each interval, take your pulse rate by counting the number of beats at your wrist or neck for 15 seconds. Multiply that result by four to get your beats per minute. Your next interval should start before your heart rate is less than 60% of your maximum.
The four components of good fitness include flexibility, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and cardiorespiratory endurance. For optimum health, include at least two of these groups in three workouts per week.
Your fitness level will improve by overloading, working your body hard enough to stimulate the body, progression, increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise over time, and regularity, working out frequently, at least three times a week.
As your fitness improves over time by following a carefully planned fitness program, your ability to exercise closer to your maximum heart rate will improve.
