History shows that in a avalanche situation, aluminum is far superior to plastic. That's why we only make aluminum shovels with oval shafts for maximum strength and minimal weight. Shoveling is the crux of all avalanche rescues. Digging up the victim takes the majority of time and often dictates life verses death. This is why our shovels are built to perform.
