BCA Tracker2 (2⁄3 scale)
One of Great Canadian Heli-Skiing's Lead Guides and our Operations Manager, Rob Dalinghaus, recently spent a fair bit of time researching the various types of avalanche transceivers on the market today.
Rob knew that the ideal choice would be a beacon that was very accurate, yet simple to use. To that end, he opted for the Tracker2 from Backcountry Access. The Tracker2 actually has THREE antenna, making searching that much faster and accurate.
Backcountry Access are renowned leaders and pioneers in snow safety. In fact, they spend more money on research than they do on marketing their products! Like here at Great Canadian, safety is the #1 priority at Backcountry Access before anything else. BCA supply many reputable heli-skiing operations and ski patrols with their safety products.

Wow, we've had an awesome past couple of weeks and it's still going on! I knew we hadn't received any new BIG dumps for awhile, so I thought it would be prudent to go out and do some product testing. Weeelllll I was very pleasantly surprised!
I joined some super fun guests from the Czech republic and we were skiing about 15-20cm of fresh powder and it was awesome! We managed to ski 14 runs and did 9,400 metres (30,840 feet)! The day before they skied 16 runs!
