BCA Dozer™ 2T-S Avalanche Shovel black

Dig like a machine.

Locked and loaded for easy deployment. BCA’s avalanche shovel system with mid-size blade and integrated quick-deploy wood saw. Shovel remains assembled and operational when the saw is deployed. T-grip handle

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 the legendary D-2 EXT “Dozer™” shovel. It’s so popular among the core followers, BCA has named their entire new line after it!
The 2T-S saw is accessed directly from the shovel handle, for quick deployment without disassembling the shovel.

BCA was the first to create an avalanche shovel with a non-round shaft, to prevent breakage while prying. We’ve taken our groundbreaking oval design and added a concave radius on both sides, to make it even stronger, without adding weight. Tightly toleranced “variable offset” sliding surfaces between the inner and outer walls of the extendable shaft prevent ice buildup, for reliable deployment. In hard-slab avalanches and deep burials, avalanche debris can be difficult to penetrate. With our flat “stomp edge” on the top of the blade—and heat-treated 6061 aluminum—you can penetrate just about anything, just like you can with a gardening spade. BCA shovel blades lay flat in your pack with no protruding ferrule or “neck,” leaving more room for other backcountry essentials (and luxuries too!). The front third of all blades offers a smooth surface for clean snowpit walls during snow stability tests.
