RS Plus Extendable Shovel
Prepared for the worst.
To create the RS Plus Extendable Shovel, Backcountry Access simply took the incredibly lightweight and compact, yet highly functional design of the RS shovel, and then added a tool kit that turns this rescue shovel into an emergency sled. Ideal for guides, pros, or simply skiers and riders who spend their entire winters in the backcountry, this kit essentially lets you turn a pair of skis or splitboard into a sled in the event of an emergency. Even with this kit, this shovel still weighs in at under two pounds and retains full extendable functionality, making it a fantastic choice for any serious backcountry enthusiast.
