Alpental Beacon Park

Last year we used the one at Crystal and were completely humiliated by a patroller who did a 3 or 4 burial scenario in something like 4 minutes.

Glad to hear the Crystal patroller can save us, I bet you can too, what was your time?  4:01?  Better yet, don't get in a slide in the first place, know the terrain, conditions, and weather history well enough to avoid trouble.

Here's a couple shots of the Alpental machine yesterday. Jimmy is holding one of the two (big, heavy) probes that are at the site.

Around the 3 minute mark for a single burial. My kid beat me later in the season at the Alpental park with a 1 minute for a single burial. Once she can ski better she might finally be of some use.

Stevens pass is supposed to have one called BCA beacon basin. I haven't checked it out yet. Has anyone else?

The website describes where the Stevens Beacon Basin is, but also says "opening TBD". 
Has anyone used it or know if it's in operation?

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a great resource.

Thank you again for your hard work......

I looked over the controls today and added the additional 4 search pads to the site. It looks like there is a problem with the "expert" button. I will resolve this issue, but in the meanwhile please enjoy the Beacon park; you can still do single and multiple searches.
