Ortovox Snow Saw
Available Colors / Styles
Detail Views
Since your twintips aren't too great at cutting clean snow pit lines, take the lightweight Ortovox Snow Saw along on your next ski tour. Cut through snow with the bottom side of the Ortovox Snow Saw's blade, and hack through branches and other debris with the other. The Snow Saw's handle attaches to any Ortovox shovel for better grip and leverage while you check out the snow pack.
Bottom Line: When your skis won't cut it, reach for the Ortovox Snow Saw.

Seemed like a nice saw but it was too long to fit into my BD avalung covert 32L pack so I had to return it.
Nice, but no nylon guard

Pretty sweet in general, the only thing missing is the case. You take cardboard/duct tape & make one, so I'm not worried about that. The new Ortovox shovels have a different shape shaft that fit into the snow saw, so that is the one surprise I found, but not too worried about it.
I'll probably pick up an Ortovox Beast shovel sometime down the road. It is narrow enough it fits into my BD Corvert pack nicely in the slots for probe, shovel shaft & snow saw.
I have an ortovox beast shovel with an oval handle shaft, does
I have an ortovox beast shovel with an oval handle shaft, does this saw actually attach? Says it should be compatible but want to be sure...
Also how does it compare in durability to the BD flicklock?

Greatest thing ever. Cuts wood really well (only tested on firewood while camping not on debris in a slide). So light and nice I might take it camping in the summer just as a saw.
