From the Selkirks to the Chugach, the Sierras to the Tyrol, if a guide isn’t holding a ski pole they are probably holding a shovel. A shovel does more than move snow. Guides use them to evaluate snowpack, set track, chop cornices and a multitude of other crucial functions.

This versatility is the inspiration for the new SpadeTECH shovel. Its lightweight, compact design is easy to stow and quick to use. The TIG welded connector tube, also found on the renowned AviTECH shovel, provides incredible durability. A low angle blade featuring a rounded leading edge is designed to penetrate consolidated snow while the new T-Grip handle provides a solid, ergonomic hold.
