About Us
We enjoy skiing and snowboarding at our favorite resorts, especially when the snow falls. We line up with hopes of getting those sweet powder turns, while we await the patrol to complete their safety checks. We have grown accustomed that within these boundaries we are completely safe from the dangers of avalanches. We are grateful to the patrol who work tirelessly to open the mountain, but even with these efforts it is truly difficult to be perfectly safe in the ever changing environment on a mountain. Snow conditions can change quickly and accidents can happen. Avalanches and burials are becoming more common inbounds. We at Beacon in Bounds want you to ride another day, so we are promoting the wearing of an avalanche beacon, when the conditions warrant, in bounds on your next resort day.
A beacon can't stop an avalanche but it can help patrol locate you faster and save in the precious minutes during a rescue situation. Add a beacon to your daily gear list, put it on when conditions are right, and turn it on for the day of shredding.
The ways to help
Everyone
When you ski on a powder day at a resort please wear a beacon, talk to your friends and family about the advantages of wearing a beacon and learn how to use it.
