Snow Sport Tree Well Immersion Alarm

Tree well falls and snow immersion syndrome represent a danger to snow sport participants, resulting in deaths at ski resorts and other areas. While there is technology available to mitigate risk of avalanche injury, there has been little technology progress to specifically address tree well immersion. Proposed is a wearable alarm system that will detect when the user is inverted and immobile in a tree well, and signal audible (and/or radio, visual, etc) warning to potential rescuers, thus allowing rescue prior to suffocation.
