Ski Guides' Rescue Tarp/Sled Kit
$250.00 CAD
This tarp provides shelter and acts as an emergency toboggan
to haul an injured skier to safety; a must for any
professional skier or backcountry enthusiast. Designed in
conjunction with ACMG Mountain Guide Conrad Janzen, this
rescue tarp is proudly used by Mountain Guides, Ski Guides,
National Park rescue wardens, ACMG examiners and many, many
ACMG guide candidates all with excellent feedback. This
tarp/sled kit was designed to:
- work with any victim;
- be user friendly;
- have extremely fast set-up;
- keep the victim dry when hauling;
- be a multi-use tool and be light enough that you will actually carry the thing!

Standard Features
- 2.25m by 2.75m tarp
- 8 loops on edge of tarp sized for new-skool skis to fit through to make a snow/tarp shelter.
- Tarp velcros together to form an envelope for 4-5 people to sit under.
- Tarp velcros together to form a bivi-sack.
- Webbing 'cage' sewn to tarp allows for sled kit function.
