The compact design of the Black Diamond® Deploy snow shovel moves mountains of snow in minimal time, expediting emergency efforts.

Unique patent-pending trapezoidal curved shaft collapses into blade pocket for compact storage and transport
Shaft deploys quickly via a quick squeeze of spring pins; shaft shape prevents rotation for positive engagement of spring pins every time
Ergonomic T-grip handle feels like a D-grip but packs small and is glove- and mitten-friendly
Sturdy anodized 6000-series aluminum blade in a smooth and flat shape carves quickly through snow during recovery and cuts clean during pit analysis
Pointed blade enables more effective chopping and flat sides help in smoothing pit walls; anchor holes through blade allow use as a dead man anchor
An ideal choice for both the recreational and professional backcountry user, Deploy shovel's elegant design offers piece of mind and performance

Please note: Black Diamond products can only be shipped to the U.S. and Mexico.

Wide Head

Cons

Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

First impression - bigger than I thought it would be (didnt see in store, first). Fits perfectly in Deuter 55 pack outside pocket, as if it were made for it (put in handle down). Construction is very solid. Metal button locks to extend and retract handle are a little difficult. Lighter than other shovels I looked at.

Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

I bought the deploy 7 for winter backpacking, mountaineering, and ice climbing. So far I have used it on one 3-night winter backpacking trip. It is compact, lightweight, and feels well-built. And it is easy to strap to your bag or slide it inside. It does have a large head which makes it a bit bulky but that helps with shoveling. Once it is fully extended I found it to be very effective for shoveling.

Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

i have this shovel (but in red) and have never been able to use it. when i go winter camping or just snowshoeing, i always take it with me. my companions think it is such an awesome shovel that they take it away from me so they can use it. since i have had this shovel, i have never had to build a snow cave. everyone else in my group will do the snow cave because they want to use this shovel. best investment i have never been able to use.

Good Shovel

Pros

Packs well
Rips snow
Rugged

Cons

Angle of handle

Best Uses

Backcountry
Booters
Snowpits

Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

I enjoy how it easily rips through tough snow unlike the smaller shovels on the market. I do however notice that the blade prevents a good clean cut for snow pits (easily fixable with hand), and has a back breaking shaft. If you are looking for a minimalist shovel this is not for you.

Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

When our Search and Rescue Unit went on a winter survival training mission last year, I had no clue what to get, and it was pure luck that I happened on this shovel. Thank God I did, because it saved my rear. The shovel performed great in the snow, and I was able to dig a very comfortable cave in about three hours. The blade and handle are very sturdy, and the shaft is the perfect length; long enough to get good leverage, but short enough to be easily manuverable. Aside from the price, which I thought was a little steep, this is a perfect shovel.

Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

This shovel is well shaped and has a strong/sharp enough tip to dig through anything. It is great in the backcountry, because of its weight and versatility. You should definitely go out and by one! The natural curve allows itself to a better dig and although the length on the shovel it not as long as others, the power is noticeably better!

Comments about Black Diamond Deploy 7 Snow Shovel:

We wanted a shovel that would last for years and years and we decided to get the best available. We have not been disappointed. We used it last year up at Snoqualmie pass where the snow was over 10 feet. It is lightweight and hooks to our backpack or the back of our snowmobile easily.
