Backcountry snow shovel

[dplantz]

Like to carry a collapsible/compactible/telescoping super lightweight snowshovel when backcountry hunting, to clear a spot for the tipi when it snows a foot plus (seems to happen every few years). Favorites?

Honestly your lightest weight options could very well be those cheapie shovels you see at the front of grocery stores for moms to put in the trunk of there cars.
Most of the Avalanche shovels are going to have aluminum blades and be MUCH sturdier and consequently a fair bit heavier. If you have pack animals and don't mind a little more weight I know the B52 from BCA is a good sized shovel with a proper D grip that can really move the snow.

Black Diamond Evac. converts to hoe mode, and stores pretty compactly. There are a couple models, different size blades(Evac 7 and Evac 9). These are what the backcountry snowboarders/skiers use when in avalanche country.
