Black Diamond Deploy 3 Avalanche Shovel

Built for backcountry travelers and first responders, these shovels deploy instantaneously for emergency situations. Utilizing our trapezoidal, curved-shaft design, they provide rotation-free, fast activation with the squeeze of a spring pin. For integrated storage the shaft slides into the metal blade, which is made of exceptionally strong aluminum and designed to move large quantities of snow quickly as well as for creating smooth pit walls. The ergonomic handle feels like a D-grip but packs like a T-grip.
