NOTE: This is a bit of premature blogulation. Apologize for that, I’ll get you next time baby.
Was just browsing the latest sales flyer from REI, apparently their Winter Sale starts Friday. As part of the sale they’ve got the BCA Tracker avy beacon on sale for a penny short of $230. This is a damn good deal on a dead simple to use beacon.
Yeah, I know some of you are holding out for the (vaporware? Sasquatch?) Tracker 2, but I also know that some of you have been waiting for 2 years for it. If you’re in the market NOW for a beacon and want something that is so easy you could just about give to a 5 year old and they’d figure out how to use it the BCA Tracker is the one. Don’t forget you can order online and have it sent to the stores for free to avoid the REI/pre-Christmas sale crowds at the register.
$229.99 and it's yours
More BC on a budget stuff, and at risk of sounding like an REI whore (hey, I’m a sucker for someone that stands behind their products), I got an email in my inbox this morn’ with a code for 20% off a regular priced item at REI. Coupon code ‘FALLDEAL’. Just tested it out and it WORKS on avalanche beacons (a man, I checked and it won’t work on the split kit). Beacons tend to not go on sale much so if you need one buy it now so you’re not kicking yourself in November/December thinking how you could have saved $50-100.
Ortovox S1 – BAM, 20% off (well, once you put it in your cart and enter FALLDEAL)
Ask not what you can do for your beacon...
BCA Tracker – BAM! 20% off.
but what your beacon can do for you
Mammut Pulse? Yup, on sale for 20% off.
Et tu Pulse? Than Poorman shall fall.
I could go all day. Check ‘em all out here and save yourself some beer money.
Read the fine print, looks like it doesn’t work on skis and snowboards, but it will work on other stuff like the Voile Tractor skins for your split, shovels, probes, and packs
