Avalanche Ranch
Thinking about going out into the backcountry, but feeling like your skills are a little rusty? Hit up the BCA Avalanche Ranch to hone your skills before venturing beyond the rope.
COME PRACTICE
The Avalanche Ranch can be found off the Stellar Chair on the left side of Big Bend. The updated BCA Transceiver Training Basin features a new and improved wireless platform, is nested and sheltered between the trees, and allows you to test your skills and practice before heading into the backcountry.
How does it work?
It’s simple - just get off at the top of Stellar Chair and follow the map below to find the location. As you get closer, you’ll see the Avalanche Ranch Zone and roped-off area.
Once you arrive at the BCA Avalanche Ranch, open the grey box on the signpost, follow the instructions, and start working on your transceiver skills!
Avalanche Ranch is generously supported by Backcountry Access. BCA supply high-quality, affordable avalanche safety equipment to R Gear, RMR's retail store located in the Village.
