This is a great shovel. It is very ergonomic to dig with, just the right size (big, but not too big), the T-handle is great, and the holes in the shaft are in the right places so snow doesn't get inside and freeze it together. \n\nUnfortunately, it has one glaring issue. The handle attachment to the blade protrudes a tiny bit behind the blade itself. This makes it very difficult to get perfectly smooth pit walls. It can make walls that are plenty smooth for stability tests and layer identification, but they're not picture perfect. As an avalanche professional that literally takes pictures of my pits on a daily basis and publishes them on social media this means that I'm back on the search for the perfect shovel. Which is unfortunate, because this shovel is so close.
