Targeting Your Customers
We’ve crafted our product line to target four different segments of the outdoor market–including two positions in the “mass market.”
Living up to the “access” part of Backcountry Access, we have a product offering for every user group: from lower-cost, entry-level “gateway” products to
higher-priced, higher-performance products for professionals. The meat of our product line is within the mass market, where we target both resort-oriented
freeriders and the fully committed backcountry crowd. See the chart above to match your BCA product offering to your clientele.
BCA “Backcountry Assessor”
App
Plan your tour, check the avalanche forecast, measure slope angle/
aspect/elevation, and locate your nearest BCA dealer and refill/
exchange center. BCAs new app also provides an info checklist
for reporting an injury–including auto-populated GPS coordinates.
Available for iPhone only.
Social Media
Follow us on our website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for
updates on BCA products, snow safety techniques and epic stories.

BCA YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/BackcountryAccess.
