Thank you everyone for another successful season! See you in November
📡 SAR Repeater Project Update 📡
We’re excited to share another milestone in our radio communications project!
A huge thank you to the Woods Class at the local high school for taking on the project of building a custom cabinet that will house the NVSAR repeater. Once completed, the repeater will be installed at the Coq Snow 10K Cabin and will provide excellent radio coverage throughout the Coquihalla riding area.
Special recognition goes to Evan G., pictured here, for his work on the project. It’s great to see local students contributing their skills to initiatives that will benefit the snowmobiling and outdoor recreation community for years to come.
The cabinet is coming together nicely, and the next steps will be wiring the system with jumper coax, completing final testing, and transporting it to the cabin for deployment.
Projects like this are only possible through strong community partnerships and volunteer support. Thank you to everyone involved in helping improve safety and communications for riders and rescue teams alike.

🔋 Summer Storage Reminder 🔋
As riding season is over, don’t forget to remove the batteries from your avalanche transceivers before storing your gear for the summer.
Leaving batteries in your beacon can lead to corrosion on the battery terminals, potentially causing problems when you need your equipment most next winter. Take a few minutes now to remove the batteries, inspect the compartment, and store the unit in a cool, dry place.
When fall rolls around, install a fresh set of batteries before heading back into the mountains. The old batteries can still be put to good use in TV remotes, clocks, flashlights, or other household items where reliability isn’t critical.
A little maintenance today helps ensure your safety equipment is ready when the snow starts flying again.
Stay safe and enjoy your summer adventures!
