Ortovox Orange Avalanche Shovel

Item #ORT0016 | 67 in Stock
1 Star Rating

Metal, not plastic

By Ranked #326 - Avalanche Safety March 18, 2009

Spend the extra money and get a metal shovel. Breaking a shovel while frantically digging to find your buddy would be a bad place to be. After a slide avalanche snow can be extremely compressed, so spend the extra ten or twenty to get a blade that won't break
