I know this has been beat to death, but I am wondering if there should be a fourth item added to the list.
1. Beacon
2. Shovel
3. Probe
4. 2 way radio?
We had an incident while snowboarding in Golden this weekend. A class 2 came down. There were 6 of us at the bottom (to the side) and 3 up top. After the slide came down, we had no way to know if anyone had been taken down with it (Nobody saw anyone go down in the slide, and there was no debris). All of us on the bottom had radios, but got no response. We wasted several minutes of frustration trying to make sure noone had came down. We eventually got the all clear and got everyone out of there safe, noone was swept down.
In the end, radios could have saved everyone a lot of frustration.
Thoughts?
