Seriously, most avalanche training focuses on digging a person out, but true rescue only happens when a victim has received medical attention. The crew at Brooks-Range Mountaineering knows that self-rescue is often the only rescue in remote settings, so they’ve made the Ultralite Rescue Sled small enough to easily stow in a backpack. Only 23 ounces and packed to the size of your lunch bag, the Ultralite Rescue Sled transforms a pair of skis and poles into a stable and weatherproof rescue sled. Optional assembly with the Sharktooth Shovel makes the ultimate ski rescue package.

Modern day mountaineering equipment strives to meet one purpose: success at getting in and out of the mountains safely. Increase your odds of success with the Ultralite Rescue Sled. Take it on your next expedition, stash it at your backcountry camp, or keep it in the trunk of your car; you’ll be one step closer to saving a life.
