Dig fast. Save lives.
The Black Diamond Transfer Shovel is the ideal tool for avalanche rescue. A high-volume 590 cm2 blade and smooth-bottom design lets you throw maximum snow per stroke from a minimal footprint, and the redesigned extendable T-handle is stronger and more comfortable to grip during sustained digging. A two-section trapezoidal aluminum shaft with durable anodized blade collapses to 61 cm for pack storage and extends to 79 cm for digging clearance. UIAA certified for backcountry safety use. The Transfer Shovel also earns its place at the snow study site, delivering clean pit walls for accurate snow observation. At just over 1.4 lbs, it is the right weight for the right job. Add it to your ski kit before the first tour.
