Klim Backcountry Shovel

When you're riding in avalanche terrain, every second counts. The KLIM Backcountry Shovel is engineered for rapid deployment, maximum strength, and dependable performance when you need it most. Whether you're digging out a buried snowmobile, building a snow shelter, or responding during an avalanche rescue, this shovel is built to perform in the harshest winter conditions.

Constructed from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, the Backcountry Shovel offers an outstanding balance of durability and packability. Its quick-deploy, self-locking design allows for fast assembly—even with gloves on—so you can spend less time setting up and more time getting to work. The aggressive chisel-edged blade cuts efficiently through packed snow, while the innovative shovel-to-hoe conversion makes moving large amounts of snow faster and easier.
