Probing Techniques:
Beacon Search Probing
- The pinpoint search (within three meters) is the trickiest part of a beacon search.
- A probe can quickly confirm the location and depth of burial.
- Probes with depth markings aid in determining exact depth and in determining the appropriate excavation area size.
- From your lowest distance reading, probe 10 in (25cm) apart in an expanding spiral pattern.
- Since the pinpoint search is done along the snow surface, insert probe perpendicular to the surface, not straight down.
- After striking the victim, leave in place and start shovelling downhill of the probe.
- Recommended probe length: 1.8 to 3 meters.
Spot Probing
- Performed if beacons are not worn or not functioning.
- Probe up to 6 feet deep (1.5 meters) in likely burial spots.
- These include the fall line below last-seen-area; around the victim’s equipment on the surface; above and below rocks &
- trees; depressions, curves, and the toe of the debris pile.
- Studies show that avalanche victims rarely survive below 6 feet (1.5 meters). Therefore a live recovery is more likely if
- you probe more areas than if you probe deeper.
- Recommended probe length: 2 to 3 meters.
