Whether you're building massive kickers in the backcountry or digging your buddy out of a slide (lets hope you're building kickers) the Ortovox Alaska D Avalanche Shovel provides proven durability with a stout design. This burly shovel's large aluminum blade and full D-grip shaft moves tons of snow when it matters.

Bottom Line: Get the job done with the Alaska D Avalanche Shovel.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Super sturdy, sleek, comfortable in the hand.

The one I purchased was actually the Grizzly II model, not sure the difference. This is a super sleek and comfortable shovel that will last years. If your an avalanche professional, spends lots of days in the snow, or looking for a good shovel to build pits or snow shelters then this is a great choice. It's not light but would you expect it to be? The insulated handle is a really nice feature.
