I guess it's a bit different here in Europe then it's over the ocean. All what I wrote, was meant for off-piste skiing, and for that I would say it's not all that different here or over there at your home mountain. On piste is relatively safe, and you have other issues to worry about then avalanches. First, ski runs are made so that they avoid (most of) dangerous terrain. Then they are heavily controlled, and if there's avi danger they are closed. Sure it can still happen, but avis on pistes are so rare, that you really don't need to worry about this. As soon as you step out of piste, things are different, especially over here, where 1m off piste is same as back country. Noone controls, nor is noone forced to control terrain outside of pistes (over here, ski resorts are obligated to protect pistes and lifts from avis, not terrain next to piste). But even if you control terrain next to piste, you can never ever be 100% sure natural "untreated" snow, on top of that on various terrain can be safe. It can be fairly (sometimes not even that) safe, but never 100% sure about this. So for on piste skiing, I admit I never wear transceiver. As soon as I go out, even in "safe" conditions, whole avi equipment is on me. And on top of that, in some cases it can actually cost you some 300eur if you don't have it
But as I wrote earlier, noone can force you to wear or not wear one, but for people with who I ski off piste (lift access, or what you call inbound, or in back country, miles away from civilization) full avi equipment is obligatory, or they don't go with me. First, because if something happens to me (hope it never will), I want them to be able to get me out, not that they will find me in spring, and second, if something happens to them, I'm not sure how I would live after that, knowing I wasn't able to save my friend's life.
