Mammut Alugator Ultra Shovel

Rumor has it that Mammut has the "scoop" on a top-secret supply of aerospace-grade aluminum, presumably harvested from the husks of planes at Area-51. While this rumor is mostly unfounded, according to Snopes, Mammut has elected to use aerospace grade 7075 aluminum with the Alugator Ultra, achieving a very high durability-to-weight ratio. Even with its svelte weight, the Alugator Ultra still moves snow very effectively, and its impressively thin 1mm blade is specifically designed to cut through hard-packed avalanche debris. Stabilization ribs on the blade give it exceptional rigidity while the back remains flat for cutting snow profiles and digging snow pits. The telescopic shaft can be set at either 39cm or 55cm and snaps into place for fast assembly, letting you find your ideal length for optimum efficiency. With a space-saving blade design and compact shaft length, the Alugator Ultra fits into smaller race or fast n' light packs with no issues. A standard T-grip provides a familiar feel and plenty of shoveling oomph. If you're not looking to compromise on either weight or performance, Mammut's Alugator Ultra is for you.
