In this video, BCA’s Bruce Edgerly covers the basic functions of an avalanche transceiver as well as precautions that skiers and snowboarders should take when traveling in backcountry terrain. Intro to avalanche transceivers for skiers and snowboarders gives a great ‘how-to’ find flux lines and a description of the third antenna in an avalanche beacon.

Great material, thanks.
New skiers should also remember that using a beacon, probe, and shovel is not the focus of avalanche safety.
The focus is not starting avalanche in the first place, or being in a potential path of a naturally occurring one, or in the path of one caused by others. The training/practice, and neat gizmos come after.
