Beacon Practice Area Info

As chairman of the Education Commitee of Friends of Tuckerman Ravine, I have been toying with the idea of approaching the USFS Snow Rangers and discussing setting up a avi beacon practice area somewhere on the hike to or in the ravine. Anyone out there ever been involved with setting up an area? I am looking for any information that may forward this idea. Help with initial cost, materials, terrain ect. would be helpful. Basically, I have little idea of how this works and am looking for a bunch of help with figuring this project out before approaching USFS and looking for funding.

Thanks for any advice/info in advance.

This thread will probably help.

email BCA and see if they will pitch in.

Contact the Sarge via TGR. Frozen should be able to point you to him.

Wouldn't it be better to have it near a town so people could regularly practice? Having it at a popular BC area seems a bit silly.
