MSR designed the Responder Snow Shovel for uncompromising strength and optimized ergonomics. The result is a shovel capable of cutting through cement-hard avalanche debris and a shovel that lets you dig snow pits without hunching so far over that your back hurts. MSR built this puppy out of lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, giving it an aggressive serrated leading edge perfect for getting through hard snow quickly and a flat back for shaving smooth snow pit walls. The compact blade and low-profile T-handle make this thing extremely packable.

Solid Shovel!

  • Familiarity:I've used it several times

When your friend is caught in an avalanche you don't want to worry about your shovel snapping in half. This thing is beefy. It might be a touch heavier then some of the other shovels on the market but why cut a couple grams for something that will help you save lives. The shaft is very strong. The blade has a nice cut to help slice through all the hard snow and ice chunks.
