If you’ve spent $500 on the fanciest avalanche transceiver in existence but you don’t know how to use it, it’s not going to do you much good. In the event of a slide, that little beeping box is your lifeline the only form of communication between you and your potential rescuers when you’re separated by layers of snow. Also known as a beacon, a transceiver is just one part of a complete avalanche safety kit, which should also include, at the minimum, a probe and shovel. Another essential component of avalanche safety is education, which we will discuss in more detail below. A course taught by a qualified instructor is the best preparation for trips into the backcountry’s variable snow conditions. This article is a basic primer on beacon use. It is not intended to replace formal avalanche training. ....
Thatâs how many it takes to power a Backcountry Access beacon training park. Lynne Wolfe is keenly familiar with that number. On Jan. 16 the Yostmark Backcountry Tours ski guide grabbed anyone within armâs reach to help her stuff the bevy of batteries into eight transceivers for a new beacon search training park at the Coal Creek trailhead, the second to be installed in the Teton region this winter. The park consists of a control panel and eight transceivers that are buried in the snow. The control box contains switches that turn the transceivers on and off, allowing people to create dozens of training scenarios. ....
71 Shares The Vail Pass winter recreation area received a pair of beacon checkpoints this week thanks to the efforts of local gear manufacturer Weston, in collaboration with Backcountry Access, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center and the National Forest Foundation. Sean Eno with Weston said the checkpoint station will be similar to the one atop Teton Pass in Wyoming, a backcountry area which, like Vail Pass, sees lots of traffic in the winter. In Colorado, beacon checkpoints are often found at sidecountry access points, where they can be managed by a resort that operates in the nearby National Forest. Eno said the backcountry community is expanding in Colorado, and the presence of beacon checkpoints serves as a reminder to all that a properly working beacon is always recommended in the backcountry. Eno says as a manufacturer of equipment that gets people into the backcountry, Weston feels a duty to try to forward that message. ....
Vail Pass was better positioned than many other public land recreation areas to meet the surge in use that accompanied the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, National Forest rangers are having to make advancements to the backcountry – a seemingly contradictory concept – to meet the new demand. Before last year, there were 4 to 6 snow rangers working Vail Pass during the winter season. This year, there are 11. Those rangers have a new warming tent to use as a base camp, from which they can be dispatched more quickly to assist backcountry users who lost a ski, are stranded on a snowmobile, or, in the worst case scenario, triggered an avalanche. ....
