Trackers, or any other equivalent modern alpine transceiver, are a tool used for companion rescue in the event of an avalanche. The transceivers have two modes: send mode and search mode. When you start your day, everyone in the group will turn their transceiver on and set it to send mode. In the event that a group member is swept away by an avalanche, the remaining group members will all switch their transceivers into search mode. They will then proceed to search for the missing group member (transceivers usually have a range of 40-60 meters). That's a highly highly highly oversimplified version of it - if you want to learn more you can do so here: avysavvy.avalanche.ca/en-ca
@@MikeyFriedland sounds like a great set up, I am looking forward to get one too ;) Did you have any problems with the brake width? because the chentlers are 120 and the shift binding is 120 max...?

I've always wondered? What is the point of the trackers, what do they do?

Thanks Harry!
Hella ya mikey!!!!!
I miss skiing with you Phil!!
I think your concept of "very deep" is about a meter different than mine. Still looks like great skiing though!
Perhaps it was a biiiit of an exageration lol - still was great skiing and a fun day out!
Did you dig a pit at any time during the day ?
We did! At about 2pm
