You might be the fastest draw in the west with your old, analog-style beacon, but it won't be enough to help you pass your beacon search test in a Level 3 avalanche guide course. Instead, opt for the Pieps Pro BT Avalanche Beacon with an integrated 60-meter circular range as well as convenient digital readout that will make finding buried beacons as easy as finding fresh powder in the Wasatch. The Pro BT also sports an increased battery life which is ideal for multi-day hut trips as well as an integrated inclinometer to take the guesswork out of slope angle measurements, a critical feature when deciding which slopes to ski and which ones to avoid. With other guide friendly functions like a group-check feature, continuous carrier mode for use with analog beacons, and compatibility with the TX600 transmitter, this beacon is the perfect design to make you look like a professional even if you don't act like one.
