Had a discussion with my brother in Italy...he was about to go ride backcountry, and told me about the gear he was using. He always carries avy gear, I ride mostly in Kirkwood, hitting sidecoutry at best, but sometimes in very loaded conditions.

Should I have avy gear within the resort?

which one? Avalung? showel probe and beacon? Airbag?

what do you guys normally cary? I would think that being alone most of the times, an avalung is the logic solution...

suggestions?
