Not as long as a heavy-duty shovel, but very light. For snow-camping it's all I need for digging kitchens, shelters, etc. Have used in wet snow and late-season icy conditions, but thankfully have not yet had to use for avy rescue. I used to carry a plastic shovel for day-trips, but now just carry this, because the weight is the same and I trust the metal blade more.
