Description

The BCA Dozer 2H avalanche shovel is a reliable and efficient tool designed for backcountry users who need to dig snow quickly and effectively in rescue situations. It features a large, heat-treated 6061 aluminum blade measuring 25 by 29 cm, which is designed to move snow efficiently. The shovel has an extendable T-grip handle for a comfortable and firm hold, and a unique ovo-concave shaft shape that adds strength and improves grip to prevent breakage during heavy digging.

One of the key features of the Dozer 2H model is its “hoe mode.” This lets you flip the blade sideways to shovel snow by paddling it away rather than lifting it, which reduces fatigue and increases efficiency, especially in soft snow or when clearing debris after an avalanche. The blade also has a flat “stomp edge” to allow you to use your body weight to break through hard snow or ice.

The shovel assembles quickly with auto-engaging spring pins, lies flat in your pack without protrusions, and meets the UIAA 156 standard for avalanche rescue shovels, ensuring it is tested and certified for safety. It weighs about 765 grams and extends up to 60 cm for leverage and control.

This makes the Dozer 2H a top choice for serious backcountry riders who want a durable, versatile, and easy-to-use shovel for avalanche safety and snow excavation work.
