New for the ‘21-’22 season, the Dozer 1T Shovel from Backcountry Access maintains all the best features from the massively popular B1-EXT shovel, with significant improvements that make it a must-have for your avalanche safety kit. At a scant 545g, this extendable shovel is lighter than the B1-EXT but maintains its workhorse durability thanks to the 6061 T6 Aluminum construction. The Dozer 1T is compact and low-profile enough to fit in just about any pack, while the new blade design touts a flatter surface to keep your snow pit walls clean. Most importantly, the simplicity of its design makes this shovel easy to assemble in a flash. For snow study, companion rescue practice or the real deal, the BCA Dozer 1T Shovel is a reliable and easy-to-use piece of gear that would be at home in any touring pack.
