I was there as part of the mcbride snowmobile club. I brought out onr of our clubs new beacon checker to let people see them. They are pretty cool. I also brought a bunch of the other BCA avy gear that we sell at the shop so people could check out the newest gear from BCA.

Hey Glengine whats a beacon checker? Is it to test how accurate our beacons are? or signal strength? got my curiosity!

What they are is a unit that will sit at the trail head ticket collectors shack and when you pull up to get your trail pass it'll either light up a green led circle or the red X will stay lit up. What it does is test to let you know that your beacon is on and transmitting properly.
