Evac 9 Shovel

The Black Diamond Evac 9 Shovel is the top-of-the-line shovel that was originally built for professional use, but can be used by anyone that needs a shovel for backcountry or recreational use. From digging out your car from a snowstorm, to building kickers and of course, avalanche rescue and field work, the Evac 9 is a true work horse. The Evac 9 has a larger shovel blade volume than most standard shovels and a longer handle for better digging and larger snow volume removal. The large blade moves lots of snow quickly, and a flat-bottom profile helps you get a good clean face on your pit wall. The updated, extendable shaft eliminates the possibility of jamming in the field while the modified large D handle increases comfort for long days digging multiple avalanche pits and speeds up digging time during an emergency burial. Reach for what the professional snow guides use, with the Black Diamond Evac 9 Shovel.
