Free clinic shows use of avalanche beacons Imagine skiing in the Alps and sliding down the smooth untouched snow lightly under your feet. All of the sudden you hear a thunderous sound and discover the ground slipping around you in an avalanche. In a full burial avalanche inci dent, search and rescue by com panions is the only real chance of survival and using an avalanche beacon can help missing skiers be found. The University Outdoor Pro gram will hold a free clinic on Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. to educate students on the proper use of avalanche transceivers. The Ortovox avalanche beacon is just one part of the Allard and Casey Memorial Safety Library. The safety library is the first na tionwide library started in 1995 that allows students to rent out avalanche beacons, cell phones, snow shovels, radios and other safety devices. The library is named after two students who died climbing the North Sister mountain. The clinic will cover basic avalanche search and rescue and use of the transceivers.
