Free avalanche tranceiver training at Glencoe Mountain Resort

Backcountry Access Transceiver Training Park is a training system created to make it easier for recreation snow-users and pros to practice with their transceivers. It features nine permanently buried transmitters at different orientations and wired to a central control panel. Search scenarios can be changed at the flick of the on/off switch on the control panel. Instead of digging holes and re-burying transceivers all day, you spend your valuable time actually practicing with your transceiver. The Training Park stays in place for the entire season and eliminates the time consuming task of physically developing transceiver search scenarios. The Training Park allows for searches to be done in a non-contaminated environment–one without footprints, shovel marks, or holes that have been refilled. Because there are no “clues”.
