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 :-)

Transceiver parks
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I have heard that there are a number of transceiver parks in the alpine resorts.

I am wondering if anyone has been to any of them and if so what is the deal with them, ie what can you do? do you have to pay? do you use your own transceiver or do you have to use theirs?

i am off to chamonix on saturday and according to what i have read on the back country access web-site there is one of these parks on the Grands Montets. can anyone confirm this? and if so where exactly is it?

as an after thought on transceivers does anyone know if there is much difference between an ortovox M1 and M2 (i have an M1).

cheers

I've seen the parks, you just pay a fee and can use your own gear. One in Arcs seems to have approx 6 buried targets.

Courchevel one is free, there was/is a control board where you setup how many victims you want, and how long you want to search for and off you go.

Well worth doing, esp the poling, even putting together our poles taught us a few lessons!!
