G3 Original Guide Gear is based in northern Vancouver, Canada, and is an independent owner and operator of industry-leading gear for backcountry skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. Since the first avalanche probe was made in 1995 specifically for guides to count on and trust, G3 has continued to be committed to our roots, designing and producing innovative, durable and reliable equipment that professionals and mountain enthusiasts can trust. Today, the range is wider but with the same attitude as you started with, performance and lightness as the focus. G3's engineers are constantly working to push the boundaries forward. Now with a complete range of skis, splitboards, clothing skins, AT & telemark bindings and avalanche safety, we strive to not only make our equipment innovative, durable and reliable but simply fun and easy to use.
