You are missing my point totally. How many skiers go away and stick 100% to groomed runs, never venturing off the piste? At a guess, none. Therefore, the RECCO reflectors will without question be better than all the expensive equipment they don't have in a worst case scenario (slide on or very close to the piste).

What if you felt the front of your skis startinh to "flap"?

I am sure at some time there was a first live recovery of a skier using a transceiver too ;)
I posted it more with reference to the skier being avalanched 'close' to the piste where most recreational skiers would think they were 'safe'. In this instance I would bet the having RECCO reflectors gives them a better chance than having nothing at all (again, like most recreational skiers). I am sure most people on j2Ski have just nipped off piste for a taste of powder without really thinking through the consequences (myself included). |

There you go! Edit, Also here: http://www.freeride.se/forum/thread.php?t=59434 I have a couple RECCO reflectors retrospectively attached to my boots, a quick Google about suggests they don't distribute them separately any more. |

Going for Glencoe opening day tomorrow. Been a bit of a thaw down here but still not far off zero. More snow forecast.

Someone was recovered the other day after a long time (maybe Xmas eve) in Europe. They were found with a RECCO receiver not wearing a transceiver, as far as I gathered/can remember.
Something to think about when buying your gear. |

Don't think I got anything ski related :(
Oh, apart from a trip to the Rockies ) |

I might still be recovering through in Edinburgh but never say never! You are better off looking at Kingshouse hotel if you can, across the road from Glencoe whereas Crianlarach is a good half hour out!
