Lightweight and Versatile
I’ve only used this shovel in avalanche training, not in a real avalanche situation. It’s very easy to handle and noticeably lighter than other models, which I really appreciate. Because of that, I’m more likely to bring it with me, including winter camping. I also keep it in my car as an emergency shovel, but the short shaft makes digging a car out of a snowbank difficult, but that’s to be expected! Overall, a great lightweight option for backcountry use. Would buy again.
