Today is my last day at the trade show and I’m headed back to Jackson. With 36†of new snow in the past couple days and 4-6’ avalanche crowns being reported, the drive should be interesting. Luckily there looks to be lull in the action this afternoon and tonight, before the snow ramps up again [...]

The internal compasses in these units help navigate you smoothly to transmitting beacons and should be calibrated every time you change [...]
