Our ultralight shovel for those looking to travel fast and light. We cored out the blade to shave weight without sacrificing on strength, while retaining our tried-and-true low profile stompable blade, cored out handle, and ovo-concave shaft.
Our ovo-concave shovel shaft is the first of its kind, designed to prevent breakage while prying. Inspired by our legendary D-2 EXT “Dozer” shovel, we’ve taken our groundbreaking oval design and added a concave radius on both sides to make it even stronger, without adding weight. Like a high-end lacrosse stick, this shape also enables better grip in the palm, reducing slippage while shoveling. All BCA extendable models are designed to meet the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels.
