Traverse EXT Shovel

By Ranked #61 - Avalanche Safety April 28, 2005

This little lightweight shovel is great! I used it in an advanced avalanche awareness class in February. It packed well in my daypack, assembled easily, dug the snow pit with vigor. The curved angle of the shovel blade makes shovel tests a little difficult. But if the slab is going to avalanche, it will regardless of your shovel angle. I really like the lightness of it for the backcountry. I will use it often!!
