TAKE 5 with Team Mammut Australia // Adam West
MAMMUT HAS RICH HERITAGE IN THE MOUNTAINS. WHAT’S YOUR HERITAGE/BACKGROUND?
Adam West, Jindabyne NSW Australia, Avalanche Safety Educator (Avalanche Canada), Backcountry junkie. Splitboard Touring since 2000! Hosting Splitfest Down Under since 2012. Avalanche educator for 13 seasons.
MAMMUT PRODUCTS ARE TESTED IN THE MOST EXTREME LOCATIONS. WHERE’S THE MOST EXTREME LOCATION YOU’VE BEEN WITH YOUR MAMMUT GEAR?
We run avalanche courses in Gulmarg Kashmir, India. We have used the Barryvox S at 4500m and even though our brains are a little starved of O2, the Barryvox S powered on keeping the crew as safe as possible.
MAMMUT IS KNOWN FOR QUALITY AND INNOVATION. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PIECE OF MAMMUT GEAR?
I would have to say my Barryvox S. Hands down the best product on the market!
CV-19 HAS FORCED A LOT OF CHANGE ON US. WHAT HAVE YOU TAKEN FROM THE CV-19 SITUATION?

WORDS OF WISDOM?
Have full respect for the mountains, they are a special place. Learn to behave safely in these areas and they will give you years of pleasure! Get educated, share your knowledge and keep all that use the backcountry safe.
