Is there a difference between the blue and orange shovels - besides the color? Why the price difference?

The orange has holes in the blade so it can be used as a snow anchor.- so does the blue now, apparently>>>The orange is T6 aluminum, which is stronger, and makes the blade better suited for anchor use.
