Thumbnail Filmstrip of Voile Telepro Avalanche Shovel Images
The extended telescoping handle adds efficiency and reduces strain on your lower back. Once collapsed, the handle removes easily from the scoop and stows conveniently in a pack for travel or making joyous turns downhill.
But the accolades of the Telepro don’t stop there. First, its large scoop is cold forged to its quintessential Voilé shape from 6061 aluminum. Then the scoop is heat-treated to an impressive T6 temper.
T6-tempered 6061 aluminum has an ultimate tensile strength of 42,000 psi and yield strength of 35,000 psi. So what does all that mean? Let’s just say the end result is a scoop that rivals the strength and rigidity of a heavy, steel scoop you might find on a transfer shovel from a hardware store.
The shovel scoop of the Telepro Avalanche Shovel features a pair of slotted holes. In the deft hands of a snow expert, these “deadman” holes may used to fashion an emergency rescue sled or snow anchor. (Please don’t rap off the latter into a deep crevasse.)
The Telepro is truly a professional-level avalanche shovel at a price that anybody can dig.

I have a few of these kicking around and usually keep one in the car during winter months (I once ended up digging out a visiting corporate executives car in the work parking lot). The handle is stiff and sturdy and the telescoping feature works consistently. My only issue is that the tip of the blade bends when hacking into hard snow.
Note From Store Owner: Thanks for submitting this review. We've never heard of this issue before. Would you mind sending a picture of the tip of the bent blade to vteam@voile.com so we can check out what's going on?
