Blog: Beacon Reviews Updated

Bruce Tremper

Shopping for a Christmas beacon for yourself of someone you love? The amazing Steve Achelis has done a major update to his popular site, BeaconReviews.com. Steve has painstakingllytested and reviewed all the beacons. It's the only independent beacon review site I'm aware of. And he has done this on his own dime, just because it's a job that needs to be done.

Here's a sample page of the beacon comparison page:

Steve is also the same guy who published the Wasatch Backcountry Skiing map, which is the definitive source forall the place names for backcountry runs in the Wasatch. I constantly use the smart phone app to get my exact location and learn the local names of the various slopes. Once again, he has done this on his own dime.

This is why we are so incredibly lucky to have him on the Board of Directors for the Utah Avalanche Center.

Thanks so much, old buddy, for all you do.
