The line of rescuers with probes is huge. They must have had hundreds of volunteers.

We need Reccos built into all our boots.

I got a recco on my jacket. What if i'm buried facing up and the recco reflector is facing down, would they still be able to find me?

Not really a concern now because the amount of avalanches at our resorts number at around zero.
