Replying to Finding skis when your bindings release in deep snow

I was incredibly happy with the 12" in PA today and had a blast skiing some trees

However, on the last run, I decided to ski on a black diamond with a bunch of chopped up powder. I suck at powder skiing as I've done it approximately zero times in my life. Twice on that run, I tripped over a little hill of snow, my ski released and got buried, and I spent 10 minutes dragging my feet around searching for it.

Frantically shuffling my boots along the snow to search for my ski worked, but it was stressful af and I felt like this method just isn't reliable. Is there a better way to find your skis/prevent this from happening? I'm sure there's something out there, but when I look it up, all that comes up are 20+ year old snowheads threads with outdated stuff in them.
