Avalanche Beacon

The avalanche beacon serves as a crucial tool in locating individuals or equipment buried beneath snow. Prior to engaging in skiing or snowboarding activities, the beacon is activated, emitting a low-power pulsed signal into the environment. In the event of an avalanche, if the transceiver's holder remains unscathed and has not been swept away by the disaster, they can switch the device from transmission mode to reception mode, transforming it into a detection tool used to scan for signals emanating from other people equipped with transmitter beacons who may be trapped. It is essential that the beacon is readily accessible in emergency situations, as winter conditions and bulky gloves can hinder its retrieval. Improvements can be made to the shell's design, allowing it to be easily pulled out of a pocket or holster, thereby facilitating quicker access during critical moments.
