Could you use it to make a kicker?
Or are there any other shovels specially designed to do that?

You could definitely use it to build a kicker, it's got a meaty 13 1/2" blade. You may want to check the measurement to make sure it'll fit in your backpack if that's how you plan on transporting it. Packed its going to be about 13 1/2" x 14". If you're less worried about packing it, you may want to look at some shovels with longer handles so you don't have to shovel from your knees. Here's a few: -Voile Telepro Shovel -Black Diamond Transfer 7 Shovel -Backcountry Access Chugach Pro EXT Shovel -Ortovox Grizzly 2 Shovel -Mammut Alugator Light Shovel Have fun hucking!
