Successful Transceiver Rescue in Salt Lake UT
Despite the recent formal study from Albi Sole at the University of Calgary showing that avalanche education doesn't actually reduce your risk, sometimes it comes in pretty handy.
While crossing a slope near the Big-Cottonwood-Millcreek ridgeline, one of a team of three was caught and buried under a short slide. His companions enacted a successful rescue via beacons, probes, and shovels.
Of course, on the odd-news front, sometimes you don't need a beacon. After three days of being buried in a snow drift in Ontario, this woman was found alive by a search dog.
