I have been on a course today at Glenmore Lodge looking at the use of transceivers and companion rescue in an avalanche. We spent the morning looking at the transceivers and how they work and made the most of the excellent new transceiver park that is available for use all year round for transceiver training. The park consists of some permanently buried transceivers that can be found and then felt under the probes through wood chips. This simulates searching and probing snow. After lunch we then headed up the hill and repeated the exercise in real snow looking at how to dig out an avalanche victim. A great day with lots of new skills that I hope never to need!
