Backcountry Access Dozer 1T Avalanche Shovel
Dig like a machine with the Backcountry Access Dozer 1T avalanche shovel. It makes quick work of snow with an extendable T-grip, strong and grippable shaft, and low-profile "stompable" blade.
- Extendable T-grip provides a firm hold
- Ovo-concave (oval concave radius) shaft with variable offset sliding surfaces is strong and grippable
- Low-profile blade features a flat "stomp edge," letting you penetrate snow and ice by adding body weight
- The front third of the blade offers a smooth surface for forming clean snow pit walls during snow stability tests
- Auto-engaging spring pins at the blade/shaft connection make for faster assembly and deployment
- Shovel is designed to lie flat in your pack with no protruding ferrule or neck, leaving more room for other backcountry gear
- Meets the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels
- Backed by the manufacturer's 3-year Limited Warranty

Not the Sturdy Backcountry Shovel you want
Bought shovel for Christmas. After checking it out we have realized this isn’t the shovel one wants if you’re in the back country. Doesn’t hold up against the BlackDiamond ones. Spend the extra $20 and get the BlackDiamonds. This doesn’t break down very small, isn’t real sturdy. Might work in a pinch but the handle looks like it will come off when you use it. A lot of money for not a reliable tool.
Incorrect extended length on website
This seems like a good lightweight shovel for medium duty snow removal. I ordered a Dozer T1 and D2 and prefer the D handle on the D2. The extended length is incorrectly listed in the product copy on the REI website. It says that the extended length is 23.5". That is the extended length of the shaft when it is off the shovel. The extended length with the shaft on the shovel is 29.5".
