Got a new Pieps DSP avalance beacon yesterday and went out for a few hours in the afternoon to test it.
Its simplicity is the best. OFF, SEND, SEARCH. This beacon couldn't be
anymore clear. After burying another beacon and searching for it several
times I was impressed with how easy the beacon operates.

After testing it we put the skins on and headed up the mountain for a few turns. After weeks of storms and nasty weather the snow was great. Still light and there were still some good lines out there.

Now that I have a complete set of backcountry gear its definitely time to get away from the lift lines.

Coby.
