DMOS Alpha Shovel
This snow shovel can handle winter's worst.
Build the biggest backcountry booter.
Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, this shovel ($100) is light enough to pack into the backcountry but durable enough to dig snow caves around the house. Serrated teeth help chop through ice, while a telescoping handle adds extra leverage.
