A special vest worn over a jacket and also a helmet can be rigged with pressurized air that could inflate during emergency conditions to create air pockets in avalanche burials. The air pockets around the chest will prevent compression and the pocket around the head will provide room for breathing air.
The vest can also be incorporated into specialty ski jackets.
Possible sensors are MEMS accelerometers as well as multi-point pressure sensors.
