Knowing the angle of the slope you're on can help keep you out of avalanche terrain. The Backcountry Access Slope Meter is a lightweight, essential tool for backcountry ski trips.
Features
Angle range of 0° to 60° to assess the steepness of a slope; stabilizes quickly for fast reading
Metal ball inside a liquid-filled tube measures the slope angle when placed perpendicular to the snow
Align the bottom edge with the slope, and the meter accurately displays the angle in degrees
Bottom edge matches the radius of ski poles so slope meter can be placed on top when pole is lying on snow surface
Use the compass for determining slope aspect
Built-in compass lanyard attachment point
Concave bottom for dual use as a ski scraper and inclinometer; flip the meter over, and you can use the sharp edges to remove excess snow from your skins
