Avalanche Shovels

Avalanche Shovels

Avalanche shovels are a critical part of any rescue operation.

When an avalanche occurs, the extreme force and weight can create very compact, hard snow. If you are performing a rescue operation, you will need the right equipment to dig through the snow quickly. It’s difficult work, but avalanche shovels make it much easier to locate a buried person, faster.

Avalanche shovels are specifically designed to maximise the strength of the user and make digging as efficient as possible. They are also designed to be lightweight and easy to manoeuvre and carry, ideal for mountaineers, skiers, snowboarders, and all backcountry explorers.

We stock high-quality avalanche shovels from renowned companies such as Mammut and Ortovox. All of the avalanche equipment that we sell aims to make backcountry exploring safer and easier than ever before. The Mammut Alugator Pro Light avalanche shovel is a prime example, offering a collapsible shaft, lightweight anodized aluminium blade, and a straight blade back, perfect for hard snow. We also stock avalanche rescue sets with everything you need, ready to go.
