Ortovox Kodiak Shovel

Why We Like the Ortovox Kodiak Shovel

The Ortovox Kodiak is a tough and fully featured mountaineering avalanche rescue shovel designed to clear a lot of snow quickly. This ergonomic shovel has a D-grip that maximizes power transfer while shoveling. The Kodiak has a flat blade with a large blade volume of 3.1 liters, making it ideal for snow professionals and enthusiasts. It has a 90° hoe function for scraping back and chopping downward on tough snow. The aluminum blade with high sidewalls and pronounced center ridge makes for an extremely rigid and durable shovel. The oval shaft is telescoping with a no-slip rubberized grip zone, so it packs down easily into your backpack. The Ortovox Kodiak shovel is quick to assemble, incredibly functional, yet compact for amateurs and mountain professionals.
