This was a gift as the receiver back country snowboards. He requested the shovel as a possible aid to saving someone's life. He was pleased with its quality, material composition, durability, and easy manipulation. Thanks, Rich Schmierer

The lil brother

By:
February 18, 2008

This is the shorty lil brother of the big, burley and incredibly versatile Grizzly 2 shovel. I got this one for my girlfriend because she is shorter then I am and she likes her pack to be much more compact and light then I care to. However, I could not get her a shovel that was plastic because I have broken them. Once I showed her this shovel she was as excited about it as I was about the Big Grizzly 2. What can u say? This is an aggressive tool for anyone who seriously needs to be able to shovel all kinds of snow. This is the real deal and they way it folds up is amazing! When a tool works well it doesn't need reviews to sell it, but since no one had written in I decided I needed to help "sell" something that is selling itself by reputation alone. other shovels cry when you pull out a Grizzly because they wish they had as much action in their few ounces as the Ortovox line does.

I wish BackCountry.com would maintain consistent specs on products

I wish BackCountry.com would maintain consistent specs on products (like shovels) so we can compare ... oh irrelevant things... like WEIGHT. What's the weight on the grizzly1? I see it on the BD shovels.
