Ortovox forged the high volume, aluminum and magnesium alloy blade of the Expert Avalanche shovel for dedicated backcountry travelers who need to move serious amounts of snow at the drop of a dime. Knuckle on to the right or left handed telescoping T handle and send the bombproof durable, yet lightweight 13-inch-wide blade chiseling through concrete thick debris or relocate a massive booter. The square shaped blade and gradual shovel ease valuable pre-drop Ruestch block tests. Divvying out perfectly cubed jump blocks to your crew is always nice, staying alive thanks to a strong, light shovel you don’t ditch the truck is even better.

Bottom Line: Move snow, save lives, manicure photogenic jumps.

Answer johnnywalk483530's question >

Does the shovel blade on this thing detach or does it just fold

Does the shovel blade on this thing detach or does it just fold down? It looks like it separates from the last detail view on the right, but i'm not sure. I really need a shovel that will separate from the handle so i can put it in my pack. Anyone know? Help would be appreciated....=)

Ortovox shovel handles detach by depressing the button/stop and removing the handle. The handles are reversible, so you can make an adze tool for chopping big blocks. I carry the professional in my pack, blade detached, with the handle in my avy probe bag.
