Black Diamond Deploy 7 Shovel
Review Title

Ranked #173 - Avalanche Safety

This is a good shovel. It is very compact and easy to deploy. The shaft is short but if you are on a steep slope while using it and will ne up to your knees/waist in snow it will be the perfect height for quick-paced shoveling. There are other shovels that have bigger spoons but this one is fast, light, strong, and easily packable. Do not ever buy a plastic shovel, they will break in wet cement snow and avalanche debris.
