- Title
ICAR 2024: Toblach, South Tyrol, Italy Avalanche Commission Report.
- Authors
FINGER, MICHAEL
- Abstract
The ICAR 2024 Avalanche Commission Report discusses various topics related to avalanche safety. One focus is on beacon interference, which can occur passively when metal objects temporarily affect the antennas in a beacon, and actively when electronic devices near the beacon in search mode cause interference. Different manufacturers presented their approaches to dealing with interference, such as alerting the user or reducing the search strip size. The report also covers other subjects, including a modified risk assessment model, searching in parallel, and updates on avalanche incidents from different countries. Additionally, there is information on electronic airbag interference and a demonstration of a helicopter hoist during the conference.
