Backcountry Access Chugach Pro EXT Shovel
If you're dealing with big snow and you need a big, bad shovel in your hands, the Backcountry Access Chugach Pro EXT Shovel is the one for you. The oval shaft tube increases prying strength over traditional round tubes and minimizes fatigue by fitting ergonomically into a gloved hand. The 12-inch-wide blade on the Chugach Pro EXT Shovel allows for efficient kicker building, moving Sierra cement quickly off of your hot tub, or that most exciting of shoveling tasks—digging your car out from under a five-foot dump.
Bottom Line: Kickers come together quicker with the BCA Chugach Pro EXT.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
True believer in this blade

I have carried this shovel in my pack heliski guiding for the last 6 years. I am constantly moving snow for landing zones, Pickup zones and snowpits. I shovel all day, and I want a tool that gets it done efficiently. The long extension and D grip really helps with the backaches that come along with shoveling at your feet. I can move a ton of snow quickly with this thing, which has obvious benefits in an avalanche burial/rescue. I ski tour with a bit smaller shovel, as the Chugach Pro is big and doesn't fit great in smaller packs.
Change me.
