BCA Extended Column Test Cord | 2m
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.
If you’re studying snow layers, practicing avalanche safety techniques, or conducting formal snowpack analysis, the BCA Extended Column Test Cord is a practical addition to any backcountry toolkit.

Why Buy from Twelve Board Store
Twelve Board Store has been riders selling to riders since 2013. We are not a generic retail chain — we are a specialist board sports retailer built around genuine product knowledge, real rider experience and the kind of after-sales support that only comes from a team that actually uses the gear they sell.
Every brand we stock, we ride. Every recommendation we make comes from real experience — on the mountain, in the park, on the street, and on the road. When you call us, you talk to someone who has been on a snowboard at Hotham last weekend or a skateboard in the carpark this morning. That is the difference between buying from Twelve and buying from a warehouse with a website.
We offer services that no online-only retailer can match. Our in-store workshop handles snowboard waxing and tuning, boot heat moulding, electric skateboard and e-bike repairs and assembly, and warranty support handled in-house rather than shipped offshore to a call centre. If something goes wrong with your gear, we fix it. If your boots don't fit, we sort it. If you ordered the wrong size, we swap it — no questions asked.
Our showroom at 435A Bridge Road Richmond stocks the full range across snowboards, bindings, boots, skateboards, longboards, electric skateboards, e-bikes, outerwear and accessories. We offer free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $89, AfterPay and Zip for flexible payment, and fast dispatch so your gear arrives when you need it.
Over a decade in business. More than 1,000 reviews. The most trusted specialist board store in Melbourne. If you need advice before you buy, call us on 03 9421 2293, visit us in-store, or contact us online — we'll get you sorted.
