Ski Mount

The ski mount is extremely light weight and easy to mount to a ski but its drawbacks are that the ski must be embeded in snow and pointed in the coverage direction and the ski needs to be slightly tilted backwards to make the Critter Gitter vertical and not pointed downward.

This mount clips on to a ski pole. It is light weight, easy to clip on and easy to remove. It fits snugly and is not easily blown in high wind. The drawback here is that the ski pole must be firmly planted in snow or it could be blown over in wind. The pole size needs to be 7/16 inch to 3/4 inches in diameter.

This mount was spread flat and it returned to almost its original shape with a little coaxing then remembered what its original shape.

The Ice Screw Mount is light weight and approximately 12 inches high. It simply inserts into an ice screw. The downside is that you will need to carry extra ice screws or you can use existing tent screws but then you sacrifice alert time.

If the Critter Gitter is that close to a tent, there is very little response time for inhabitants when the alarm is triggered. Also, sensing distance is diminished by really cold temperatures.

However, if you are on ice, there may not be another good mounting option. A sled can also be a good mounting point.
