The Guide BT Avalanche Beacon by Black Diamond is a compact safety device designed for skiers and backcountry riders. It’s intended to help locate buried companions in the event of an avalanche and integrates modern features to keep you connected and aware on the mountain.
Equipped with three antennas, the Guide BT offers quick and reliable direction finding, while its 60 m (197 ft) search strip width helps you cover a wide area more efficiently when sweeping for signals. The marking function lets you flag a found signal, so you can move on to locate additional transceivers without confusion. Bluetooth connectivity and a companion mobile app allow for easy firmware updates and practice drills, and the vibration alerts keep you informed without adding extra noise to your surroundings.
In practical terms, the three-antenna system provides three-dimensional locating accuracy, meaning you get both direction and depth information to pinpoint a buried beacon more precisely. The 60 m search strip width denotes the maximum lateral range at which the beacon can detect another transmitting device, helping you plan your search pattern. Marking a signal takes that first rescue out of the search field, streamlining the process of finding multiple buried subjects.
