Ortovox Orange Avalanche Shovel

Item #ORT0016 | 62 in Stock
5 Star Rating

light weight, gets the job done

By Backcountry.com Employee February 17, 2009

I disagree with all these guys. I like this ortovox shovel. It's super light weight yet has decent extension. Metal blades are nice if you're shoveling out your car but they're heavy in your pack... and this fits perfectly in my 1200 cu in dakine pack (handle goes on the side, blade in the front pocket, badabing).
