Best beacon price?

[Ronaha]

How come I can get a smart phone cheaper then a beacon? It’s seems very low tech about as smart as a 8 track player, yet the cost is high

Because they manufacture 5 billion smartphones a year.

 

[Ronaha]

Yes good point, I’m going to look around for 3 used ones.

Make sure you take them in and get them function tested and updated, I know that Mammut beacons have this functionality. Especially if you're not buying from someone you trust. That or buy new to get the peace of mind that when you need to save someone's life your equipment doesn't limit you. Avalanche Safety Solutions in Golden, BC can do this for you.

lots of out dated beacons being advertised. Make sure you get a 3 antenna digital beacon.

Even a old beacon is better than no beacon .make sure u have all the gear and practice . I think beacons are cheap . Less than 2 belts

because a beacon will save your life!! a smart phone will ruin it.

I found some top of the line gear used once for 60% off, patience really pays off!

The item I find really over priced is the avalanche airbag backpack. I can understand them being $300, but see many that cost $1000 to $1200, it is nothing high tech. Tomorrow I'm planning to go buy some new gear, beacons, shovels, probes, packs, goggles and helmets. By far the most expensive is the stupid airbag.

check avalanche safety solutions in golden
they seem to always have specials
and most the cat ski lodges sell off beacons and packs at end
of season at huge discounts

Splurge , the people you are saving deserve it.

Check out the barryvox.
Best of the best IMO.

 

[giddyup]

been using barryvox for several year, beacons are software updateable, the new models have even better range great product

I read that wrong. I thought the title read, Best bacon price?

Haha well I bought Kirkland bacon in a bag at Costco before all this crazyness happened, it’s the best!!
I ended up getting 2 Barryvox Elements for next to nothing, only used once, does anyone still use those? Think they from 2017 stopped making them? They got green color Instead of red and 2 less functions

I have the green one, it seems to work good.

I just splurged and bought my daughter and I new BCA Tracker 3 beacons, and a bunch of other stuff. Almost $5700 later we are sporting some new gear. I hate thieves!

Sucks that people stoop to stealing safety equipment. Glad to read about you and your daughters adventures together. Riding with my sons has been the most awesome thing ever. I cherish every moment I get to do that.
