If you're like most visitors to Natives, you'll regularly be tracking off-piste when the fresh comes down.  

Following our recent You the Jury verdict on going backcountry and the new Avalung product, you may want to pay a visit to Facewest.  

Facewest are specialists in providing backcountry equipment for skiers and boarders. They sell transceivers, shovels, backpacks, snowshoes and ski touring gear via their mail order service in the UK and office in Méribel.  Free training in use and basic avalanche awareness is available in Méribel (or other resorts for groups). 

Transceiver and shovel packages start at £165.  Club des Saisonniers members qualify for a free shovel with every transceiver purchased.
