I do almost all of my skiing in the Sierra or Cascades, only rarely venturing into the central (drier) US. | |

This is a great shovel and packs nicely. The extendable shaft is a nice feature, and the shovel is light enough that it doesn't add too much weight. I felt it could be bigger, especially when digging snow pits to set up camp, but also wouldn't want to carry something much larger for the day. Need to make sure to pack both parts of the shovel in the same place in your pack in case of emergency (may not have time to fish around for the handle!) | |

Quality | |
| Rating: | |
| This shovel is perfect if you want to use it for more than just that one emergency in the backcountry. I was very satisfied with how well it dug out my car, and wasn't worried about the weight in caryrying it up the mountain. Even when the handle is fully extended this is a solid well built mover of snow. | |

Sturdy Blade | |
| Rating: | |
This shovel has a sturdy build and is light for the strength of this shovel. I like the handle, although the shaft of the handle has an odd shape it works ok, but I would not want it shaped like this on a big scoop shovel...seems okay on this size though. | |

Great Shovel! | |
| Rating: | |
| Bought this as a "just in case" for casual snowshoeing. Ended up using it to save my bacon when my truck got stuck. This thing worked great and saved the day. Breaks down easily into my daypack but was easy to deploy and use. | |

Great Shovel | |

Small enough that it doesn't take up much room in your pack and sturdy enough to dig you out. The extendable handle gives you more power and makes it much more comfortable to use | |

Great Shovel | |

I used this shovel when hiking Tuckermans Ravine, it was a great first shovel for me, it does the job, very small, lightweight, and easy and quick to assemble. Great for the money | |

Black Diamond transfer 3 Shovel is awesome | |

I used this in a week long avalanche training course. It was used a lot and it dug through some very icy thick snow. I would highly recommend it. | |

| Good lightweight shovel for snowcamping, car emergencies etc. Unfortunately when digging a pit in some hard sierra cement I managed to bend the handle where it meets the blade. Not confidence inspiring for avalanche rescue work. I returned this shovel as I just wasn't impressed. I have bought a different shovel, one of the tried and true ones out there, a little heavier but I think it's well worth it. Not a bad shovel just be aware of it's best uses. | |

Not for snowpack stability tests | |
| Rating: | |
| This shovel is light and compact, but I found that it does not work well for doing snowpack stability assessments in a snowpit. It is too small and the curvature of the blade prohibits an effective shear or compression test. | |

Busted Button (Edited) | |
| Rating: |  |
The first time that I whipped this shovel out to dig in and look at the snowpack on Mt. Hood, I depressed the button on the handle to slide it into the shovel head and discovered to my surprise that it would not return, immediately rendering my shovel fairly useless. The culprit seems to have been a tiny bit of snow that got in the way of its return, but the button is still offset and won't return. I am disappointed and will be exchanging it in the hopes that it was a simple defect and not a design problem. | |

Adequate. | |
| Rating: | |
| Not too bad, but I wish it collapsed into a smaller size for stowing. There are others that get smaller, but for the price, it's a good beginners shovel. | |
