Great for what it is (*not* for avy use)

This tool is great for what it is: moving unconsolidated snow for non-avy purposes. Would also make a great emergency splint. Weighs almost nothing, so I bring it along on below-treeline tours in Vermont where no avy gear is ever needed. In case of an emergency bivy, would be great for digging a snow shelter.
