Whether you're taking an Avalanche Safety course or habitually digging pits, you can benefit from the Brooks Range Folding Ruler. If you need more than a meter of length because the snowpack is deep, Brooks Range's 200cm ruler is the obvious choice. It also has enough markings to get precise in your studies. Folds down to a mere 9¼” (23.5 cm) in length. Each section snaps to right angles, or in-line. Red highlights mark every 10cm on the metric side and every foot on the imperial scale which lets your quickly and accurately measure the layer depths.
Questions & Reviews
Despite only making it into the pack for courses, this ruler has close to daily use. It looks fashionable on the desk, and it a lot more fun to use that a measuring tape, especially when visualizing dimensions or working on tricky construction problems. Has not broken yet, which for a measuring tape is a pretty good track record. Wish there was a 400 cm version sometimes, but the 200 fits easily in a pocket and is easy to handle.

If you're really (really (really)) into digging pits all the time, then these folder rulers can be helpful.
And initially I dutifully bought such a ruler.
But then I just started using my probe.
Even when teaching avy courses, I now just use my probe to reference snowpack height measurements.
