The PIEPS probe is designed to validate a prior pin-pointing and additionally to determine the position of a buried victim. Together with an avalanche transceiver and an avalanche shovel it belongs to the recommended standard avalanche safety gear of mountaineers or mountain rescuers. (1) After pin-pointing an avalanche transceivers indicates the closest distance to the transmitting beacon. This is perpendicular to the surface of the snow. (2) Grid shaped probing: Using a distance of 40-50 cm while plunging with the Probe in a shape like a grid. (3) Once the victim is hit with the probe, keep it in this position in the snow (guidance). Start shovelling from the side to the body (A: burial deep = distance for start).
