Backcountry Access Companion EXT Shovel

5 Star Rating

Moves snow, and light

By Backcountry.com Sponsored Athlete Ranked #267 - Shovels February 14, 2010

I have a nasty tendency to bring along entirely too much junk, which not only sucks to carry up, is a real pain in the ass to ski down with, so the combination of being a very useful tool when it comes to digging efficiently (my hope is to only ever use this thing to build jumps, but regardless...) and being lightweight and therefore not cumbersome, it is a winner in my book. I have been carrying it around the BC for two years without ever having any problems with it functionally, and I don't even notice it in my pack until I need it.
