Essential Tool for Backcountry Snow Stability Testing
The BCA Extended Column Test Cord (2m) is a simple but essential tool for conducting Extended Column Tests (ECT) when assessing snowpack stability in the backcountry. Designed for avalanche educators, guides, and serious backcountry riders, this cord helps isolate a clean test column in your snowpit, allowing you to evaluate fracture propagation and weak layer behaviour with greater accuracy.
At 2 meters long, the cord is ideal for cutting precise snow blocks used during stability tests. Lightweight and compact, it easily fits into your avalanche safety kit or touring pack so you always have it ready during snowpack assessments.
