Just thought i'd let everyone know that the Mcbride snowmobile club will have BCA beacon checkers at all of the new trail pass collector shacks this season. The other thing that is really cool is once we have abit more snow down low we will also be setting up the new BCA beacon training park that our club has. The beacon traing park is a great tool where there will be mulitple transmitters buried and there is a main box that controls what ones are on. So a person will be able to pratice using there beacons and then probing to find unit itself(just dont want them bug up). The club will be holding days where it will be free for people to come out and practice. We are not totally sure where we are going to put the training park yet due to the fact that we want it in a location that it'll be accessible by all.

the emphasis of this is for practise as we are not able to train you in beacon search and probe. most of us can show you how to use them, but we need more snow to get them buried. looking forward to helping keep everyone sharp but use your heads and you will not have to use your beacon.
