The new ovo-concave shaft, low-profile stompable blades, and wide range of cored-out handles make BCA shovels stronger, lighter, and more packable than ever before. This new line is inspired by their legendary D-2 EXT “Dozer” shovel. It’s so popular among their core followers, they've named their entire new line after it! BCA was the first to create an avalanche shovel with a non-round shaft to prevent breakage while prying. We’ve taken their groundbreaking oval design and added a concave radius on both sides to make it even stronger, without adding weight. Like a high-end lacrosse stick, this shape also enables better grip in the palm, reducing slippage while shoveling. All BCA extendable models are designed to meet the UIAA standard for avalanche rescue shovels.
