Beacon Guidebooks

After AIARE launched “Project Zero,” an ambitious plan to end all avalanche deaths, founder and publisher, Andy Sovick, invented the terrain-style atlas with a mission of safety and wisdom. Understanding that the missing link is often knowledge, Beacon Guidebooks was built with the objective of providing critical information to every backcountry skier and rider. The detailed route descriptions, max slope angles and terrain rating system are all designed with your safety as a priority. Over the last five years, these guidebooks have gone from a local secret to being used by avalanche professionals, guiding companies and schools.
