ABSTRACT:
A beacon device locates ski equipment such as skis and ski poles which has been separated from a skier. The device includes a signaling device such as a strobe light mounted in or to the equipment which is activated by a trigger mechanism operative to sense the separation of the ski equipment from the skier. Various alternative trigger mechanisms are provided including optically actuated, mechanically actuated and magnetically actuated devices. A strobe light reflector is provided which always directs light upward. The beacon device is particularly useful in locating ski equipment buried in powder snow.
