The Micro Avalanche Safety Set includes Pieps' smallest beacon, a versatile shovel, and an electronic probe with integrated low-range receiver that amplifies active signals from buried beacons. Despite a small size, the Micro Beacon maintains a three-antenna design and a moderate 50-meter range. Its display is just as large as Pieps' larger beacons, and it houses the standard features that you'd expect from a full-sized beacon including: self-check functionality, auto-antenna switch, group checks, and Bluetooth compatibility for updates. Apart from a low-range receiver, the Pieps 260 Probe uses a target indicator to help detect active burials. While this definitely doesn't take away the need for adequate beacon search practices, the probe can help speed up pinpoint searches. It automatically turns off when folded, and measurement markings help with snow study. Also assisting with snow study is the clever Pieps C660 Shovel. A multi-tool of avalanche shovels, the C660 has an extendable shaft and hoe function to move heavier snow faster. The C-shaped handle accommodates bulkier mittens, and there's a bottle opener at the back for opening well-deserved brewskis after a big day in the backcountry.
