If you access the backcountry, one of the most important tools you always need to have in your pack is a shovel. Along with a transceiver and probe, a shovel is essential in helping to dig out a lost ski partner from an avalanche, and having a bomber shovel that can break through avalanche debris quickly and easily is essential. The BCA Dozer 1T shovel can handle the toughest snow conditions with ease, and also comes in handy when digging a test snow pit, setting up a winter camp site, or even building a kicker. The Dozer 1T is BCA’s most popular size avalanche shovel, featuring an ovo-concave shaft and low profile, “stompable blade.” The front third of the shovel offers a smooth surface for making clean snow pit walls during snow stability tests. With BCA’s flat “stomp edge” on the blade, you can penetrate just about anything by adding your own body weight. Auto engaging spring pins at the blade/shaft connection make for faster, hands- free assembly and deployment. The BCA Dozer 1T lies flat in your pack with no protruding ferrule or “neck”, leaving more room for your other backcountry gear. All BCA extended shovels are designed to meet the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels. That’s the type of assurance you want in a shovel that is designed and made to stand up to any condition. As an added bonus, the BCA Dozer 1T comes in two different color options- Blue and Green.
