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.
