Freestyle,
Do a search on 'transceivers'. There was a very detailed thread not so long ago.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I would go for an alloy shovel - BD do some nice ones with an extendable handle. If you ever attempt to shift hardened debris then if possible you'd carry a bloody JCB hehehe

Any of the Ortovox ones are good.
As for shovel, I got one from the 22 Special Air Service regiment (thanks guys) as my GF dad works at the base. Alloy n free!
If you want the same, try the old army surplus, cheap n good.

For transceivers I would go for the DTS tracker. There are lots of tranceivers out there but the DTS is by far the easiest to use and unless you really know how to search in an avalanche using a search pattern you will take far to long to find a skier/ boarder in need.

We got a great deal at Facewest. Mammut arvas, Da Kine packs, Black Diamond spades, and spikes.

Thanks all. I've used Otovox - do the DTS trackers work in the same way?

depends on which Ortovox. X1 or M2 are similar to a tracker. F1 Focus isn't too dissimilar but requires a bit more skill on the part of the user
if you're happy using Ortovoxes, I'd go with them. The only advantage of the Tracker (IMO) is that it is easy to use for single searches - it loses out to my F1 Focus on range and multi-person burials
