Grab your buddies and build a gigantic backcountry booter like those hellions in the fancy movies. Use the Ortovox Alaska D Avalanche Shovel to build it and you’ll be guaranteed to land everything you try. That’s how the movie guys do it. Plus, if there’s an avalanche, you can use the shovel to build an enormous wall to deflect the slide away from your jump.
- Torsion-free aluminum and magnesium blade will not flex or break
