LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN>>>>> BEACON PROBE SHOVEL IS A MUST HAVE!!!!
If you don't have any of these items, please reach out as there are locations in Cooke City that rent avalanche gear!!!
The UYSC wants to proudly announce the addition of more Beacon Check Stations around our little town of Cooke City, Montana snowmobiling and skiing area. We are placing these where we think they will be most valuable. Please utilize them and share the locations with your riding partners. Learn to use your beacons and other avalanche gear as well as you do your sleds or ski’s. These beacon check stations are installed for your safety. Put them to use and teach avalanche awareness within your riding crew. There is also a Beacon Park Station located at the "Field of Cream" softball field located just across from the Forest Service/Dump Parking lot. If you are feeling a little rusty check out the Beacon Park Station to fine tune your skills. High Recommend!!!!! We thank you for coming to support Cooke City, Montana as one of the top 10 snowmobile destinations in the US of A. Please support the people that support your sport and clubs. Please support your local clubs. A huge thank you to Ben Zavora with Beartooth Powder Guides for handling the beacon station install.
PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS TRAINING!!!!
WE ALL WANT YOU TO COME HOME TO YOUR FAMILY!!!!
