Analog Slope Meter/Inclinometer

The BCA slope meter is designed for quick, reliable field assessments. While it provides a clear reading from zero to sixty degrees, it is intended to be a tool for general terrain evaluation rather than a precision surveying instrument.

The device is engineered for winter environments and uses a specialized fluid designed to remain stable and functional in freezing temperatures, ensuring the metal ball moves freely for accurate readings.

The integrated compass is primarily intended for determining slope aspect—the direction the slope faces—which is crucial for avalanche safety. While it works for general orientation, it is not a replacement for a dedicated, high-precision navigation compass.

The device features durable, sharp edges specifically shaped to clear ice and snow buildup from your climbing skins. It is a simple, effective way to maintain skin glide without needing to carry a separate scraper tool.

Yes, the device is compact and designed for backcountry use, meaning it is easy to handle and read even when you are wearing gloves. The lanyard attachment point also ensures you can keep it secured to your jacket or pack so you do not drop it in deep snow.
