Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

A few more deals on airbags found when looking to add to my kit:

If they are all this season's, I assume the Mammut bags will have the "new" revised trigger/venturi.

This looks a good deal: buy now - dispatch September.

I think I missed the amazon Zoom+ package you linked to Admin in my multi-tab confusion. That actually looks like the best deal by about £20, oops. Comes out at £193.30 inc P&P.

Have ordered from Snow Shepherd the BCA Tracker 2, Ortovox Economic 200 Probe and BCA Tour Shovel for £214.50 delivered. Bit of a bigger hit than I thought I was taking a few days ago, but at least I have everything now.

That looks like a single antenna jobby - probably not worth buying.

Just bought a BCA Zoom 22 ABS bag with air cylinder for £294 including delivery from glisshop. Took six days to arrive from France. Benefited from the weak euro and a Tea Club discount (keeps paying for itself!).

Some great prices out there. Got a great price for a new helmet with a couple of added discounts from Edge & Wax.

Only 7 months to go to the season start!

@hawkesbaynz, Thats a great deal, I am guessing its a BCA Float 22, can I ask how they shipped to you, I am guessing overland courier with the cylinder ??? Thats the only way I can do the same to France Toofy Grin

Is this a good kit? I know that Ortovox is a good brand, what about the type of transceiver?

£199.61 seemed an ok deal, I just need a backpack to put it in, is it just a case of finding a pack that the shovel will fit in or are there specific packs to hold the shovel comfortably on your back?
Apart from a couple of times with UCPA I haven't much experience with this equipment

I guess you can use any backpack, but makes like Ortovox and Evoc have special pockets for the shovel blade, handle, probe etc to keep it neat and easy to find

Some good deals on Mammut avalanche backpacks on Bergzeit right now. Believe they are updating to a new system next year which isnt backwards compatible which may be why

@tangowaggon, check out the bac stash packs. They are the smallest, flattest packs I've found that will take all the Avi kit. No special compartment but does have a separate compartment inside for a shovel and probe.
