Must have!

Incredibly light, fits in my pack perfectly, moves mountains of snow, built to last - quite possibly the perfect backcountry shovel! Lets face it, if you need a shovel in the backcountry you want it to work, "simple. solid." This is what I hope my friends have in their packs when we ski questionable lines.
