In hard-slab avalanches and deep burials, avalanche debris can be difficult to penetrate. With our flat “stomp edge” on the top of the blade—and heat-treated 6061 aluminum--you can penetrate just about anything by adding body weight. Auto-engaging spring pins at the blade/shaft connection make for faster, hands-free assembly/deployment.
BCA shovel blades lay flat in your pack with no protruding ferrule or “neck,” leaving more room for other backcountry essentials (and luxuries too!). The front third of all blades offers a smooth surface for clean snow pit walls during snow stability tests. All BCA extendable models are designed to meet the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels.
