Thumbnail Filmstrip of Voile XLM Avalanche Shovel Images
Its mini-size scoop, made of thinner-gauge aluminum, and non-telescoping handle lend a hand in making it the lightest shovel we offer. But we couldn’t live with ourselves if we didn’t cold forge the XLM’s scoop from 6061 aluminum and then heat-treat it to a T6 temper. Here at Voilé, lightweight never equates to wimpy.

I've used an earlier version of this shovel for years. Light, simple, and easy to use. Digs a good pit and works well in simulated rescue digs. Thankfully I've never needed to use it in an emergency, but I have no doubts it'll work as intended.

Ski pack weight; it can make the difference between face shots and face plants. \nThe simple, lightweight design of the Voile XLM shovel has come through for me time and again. From building a hasty quinzee at dusk, to digging a quick avy pit for compression tests, light equals fast. It tucks into my pack easily, so I can ignore it until I need it.\n Now, I just need to keep my son from "borrowing" it to sled down our icy driveway . . .

I keep mine in my car for self-rescue during the ski season. \nThis guy also works great for snow caving, quick backcountry laps, and as a loaner when your buddy forgot his shovel in the mad rush to get out the door and get skiing.
