Black Diamond Deploy 3 Shovel
Great Shovel

After a winter with this shovel I'm very happy with my purchase. I've dug several snow caves and it's a good size for working in tight quarters. It packs well in either one of my backpacks and the weight is not an issue. I toss this shovel in my Jeep any time I think I may run into snow, haven't had to dig out yet! I'll probably purchase the long handled version of this shovel because when I need to move a lot of snow I find myself kneeling to save my back.
