RE: For those interested in Locator Beacons
Most climbing stores have them. REI had them last year, but my store that I used to go to moved, so I don' t know it they still do. If you want to buy one, lots of online places to order them. I looked into them at the start of sledding season and they were right around $350 - $375. Haven' t worried much about them till right now since Colorado hasn' t had much of avalacne conditions till this last storm.
