Avalanche Transceivers

For years we've been aware that electronic devices, metallic objects, and even foil energy bar wrappers, may interfere with an avalanche transceiver search. Despite this, many users are still unclear about which devices may impact a search, and there are no identified strategies for dealing with interference during a search. This study explores the sources and proposes some practical search strategies to address them.

BCA, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, is issuing a voluntary recall of a small number of Tracker4 units due to a switch plastics production issue.

BCA frequently gets questions from our ski, snowboard, and snowmobile community about best practices for optimizing battery life when traveling in the mountains. Read here to learn how to maximize battery life in your BCA electronics when traveling in the backcountry.

The design of the BCA Tracker4 avalanche transceiver marks a new industry standard for transceiver durability and ease-of-use for those moments when every second counts.

If you live or play in the mountains, there's a good chance there is an avalanche beacon training park near you, allowing you to practice multiple search scenarios at your convenience. Visit backcountryaccess.com/stores and select the 'beacon training park' category to find a location near you.
