We got a look at the Avatech Scope from Mountain Hub at this year's Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in Salt Lake City, and it quickly became a standout product from the show. The Scope is a high-tech probe built into a set of backcountry ski poles that allows you to instantly measure snow pack and decide whether a slope is safe to ski. Watch to find out why we think it could revolutionize snow science.
