Six waterproof transmit boxes are buried throughout the area and can be easily activated via a control panel attached at the custom Beacon Basin sign.
For those who are new to beacon searches, the park signage includes general avalanche information, details on search techniques and links to online training resources.
The Beacon Park is located near the base of the Barrows chairlift. While snow depths vary, the sloped and wooded terrain provides a realistic scenario of what a true avalanche debris field may look like.
