Avalanche maintained a close relationship with Warped Sportz, whose owner Ed Poorman was directly involved with the team.

The team became particularly associated with [[WDP Angel]] electronic paintball markers and customised Warped Sportz Dark Angel models.

In 2002, Warped Sportz released the Chris LaSoya Signature Series Dark Angel IR3, a limited-production marker designed by Poorman. The marker followed an earlier LaSoya Signature Series model released in 2001. [1]

The team's distinctive uniforms, customised markers and promotional merchandise contributed to its visibility during the late 1990s and early 2000s. [2]

During its later years, Avalanche developed a relationship with Vanguard Paintball, using the Creed and Demon markers. The manufacturer produced a customised Avalanche edition of the Demon, incorporating distinctive body milling and anodising. [6]
