On a recommendation from a friend, I bought the aluminum "Tour Shovel/Probe" combo. My friends said it wasn't "cool" to go with a lexan (plastic) shovel because they can break off in your hands. The "Tour Shovel" is aluminum, is VERY light but feels very solid. I hope I never have to use it to dig my ski buddies out, but it seems like it would work.
