Shovels

“Leicht bedeutet nicht mehr Kunststoff.” In the never-ending quest to save precious ounces pack a shovel that’s strong enough to save a precious life. Our oval shaft and 6061-series aluminum blade give BCA shovels the greatest strength-to-weight ratio in the backcountry--especially when used in conjunction with our integrated Companion Probe. Why Aluminum? Most avalanche professionals agree that aluminum shovels are far superior to plastic shovels for avalanche rescue because aluminum cuts better, digs faster and is less likely to break. What's your partner carrying?	Wolfgang Huhn digs at Dachstein Glacier where BCA trained its European distributors and their reps.
Companion rescue is the search for a buried person within your own party. Like the Tracker DTS, our Traverse, Tour and Companion systems are optimized for use by recreat ionists performing companion rescue. They are light, strong, packable, and easy to deploy.
