Or is it a can?
Either way, they sound good!

Not to be an a-hole but...

probably the best subject to get off track on though, i might have to buy a couple more beacons, i have one, but again the people i ride with don't, sucks i need to buy them one too but i don't like the alternative.

If the people you ride with don't have beacons, you will be using yours for two things.
1. To aid in the recovery of a buried victim
2. To assist others in finding your body.

I have been in an avalanche before and there are some cold hard facts that need to be realized. Avalanches happen so incredibly fast there is hardly any time to react. Once one has occurred you have little to no time to realistically save someone. Another hard fact: Having taken several classes with field sessions included, unless you have practiced religiously, you are more than likely to be completely inept with your gear anyways. Just because you own a beacon and probe and shovel doesn't mean you will be good at using them. Here is another one, how good of shape are you in? How about the people you ride with? It is incredibly difficult moving quickly over broken terrain in deep snow, and if you are out of shape you are decreasing your riding partners chance of survival. I know I sound preachy, but I mean no offense and am just telling you what I know. Try this (assuming your riding partners get beacons) Find a gentle slope (15 degrees) will do) and drop your beacon in transmit mode in the snow. Tell your riding partners to find it. You will be amazed at how long it takes. If you have the time and means, I highly suggest taking a course.

Amen to that. You HAVE to practice. Several times a year I will burry the beacon under 3-5 feet of snow n we will time each other to find it. You've. Got to do it under 10 min. It's worth it! The field classes are a must. You will learn a ton n the practice is essential

yes i have taken avalanche courses before, and field courses and i know how to use my beacon, i know how to use my shovel and probe. i'm in shape enough to dig someone out without having a heart attack, but what i was getting at was the people i ride with don't. i like the idea moto man has about having a couple extra beacons, the people i ride with will pick up on them after showing them how to use them and it'll be a better situation all the way around for us. i always have my ABS on, and with a little training for the people i ride with the beacons will be on me and the others who want to use them. another thing if people aren't wanting to buy them almost all the places we go, the lodges rent them at a very cheap rate, and most will give you course on how to use them, never a bad idea for a refresher and hopefully a bunch of information you'll never need.

I dont ride with guy's that don't have beacons, probes and a awareness of AVI's. Mountain riding without a beacon, probes, shovel has to be the dumbest thing you can do.

It takes alot more knowledge than just showing ur buddy how a beacon works to showing him how to properly use it. JM2C

i've taken the classes and field exercises to use them, now i just need them to take them. i can show them how to properly use them, the way i was taught but they still need to take the classes

 

[Leaf27]

I look at it this way, you have to watch out for your Buddies and they have to look out for you. If they don't know how to properly use the avi gear then......well u know.

The vid looks like alot of fun and the pro seems like a really good sled. If I wouldn't have modded my XP to what I want, I would definatly be looking at the Pro. Be safe out there.....
