Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

, BCA Tracker 2 is about the easiest to use, basically one on /off switch on the back and a pull the toggle switch if you need convert to search mode on the front. They are 3 antenna and quick.

@BobinCH
, I got an Ortovox Zoom+ for my daughter - on/off switch on the back, and pull apart 2 tabs to switch to search. Seemed about the best features/cost ratio when I bought it.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@mgrolf
, thanks. Checked those 2 out and got the zoom. Seems to be a bit simpler and lighter. Although the Tracker was a Best Buy here:

And got this Airbag backpack which has a shorter back system and low weight suitable for smaller people

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Suki the Rando-Dog
will be wearing one attached to her harness this season on her introduction to ski touring, it's an elderly Tracker 1, still sends perfectly but the direction arrows are screwy, not that she'll be using them
So if it's good enough for a dog, your kids should definitely have one........
