Mammut Alugator Expert Shovel - 2008

The Mammut Alugator Expert Shovel provides all the size and leverage you need to move some serious snow in a really big hurry. Your ski partner will certainly appreciate it if he happens to get caught in a slide. Mammut added a big D-shaped grip at the end of the extendable handle to allow easy use even with mittens. This large shovel makes a great choice for anything from backcountry tours to base camp chores.

Bottom Line: Dig holes quicker.

There are holes in this blade, which is not uncommon, but seems like a bit of a bad spot in my opinion. They are suppose to serve as a dead-man rigging anchor, for rescuing a partner. A really good shovel design in my mind is the Black Diamond shovels, either the Transfer or Deploy series. Depending on how long you want or how much surface area. As you are a beginner, I would recommend the longer, bigger blade of the Transfer 7 shovel.

this shovel is pretty sweet, and mammut added some really nifty features to make this top notch. it is all aluminum so you know it will be lightweight and durable. it has a d-grip handle for comfort and ease of use. The coolest part is that blade and shaft have special designed button so that there is no need to take off your gloves to depress the button to set it up. it slides right in. great time saving feature, when you need to dig in emergency situations. great shovel overall, and nice size blade too. definitely take a look at this one.
