G2 GO2GETHER Telescopic Backcountry Avalanche Snow Shovel, Grey, Packs to 13 in, Lightweight Aluminum, 1.1 lb

The G2 Backcountry Lightweight Telescopic Avalanche Snow Shovel is a compact, durable aluminum shovel that collapses for storage and extends for efficient snow digging and avalanche rescue support.

Designed for backcountry skiers, splitboarders, snowmobilers and winter hikers, this shovel balances low weight with a rigid alloy blade and an anti-slip handle. It stows small for packing yet adjusts to useful working lengths and blade angles so you can clear snow, build anchors or dig efficiently in changing conditions.

How compact is the shovel for carrying in a pack?

The shovel disassembles and telescopes down to a very small footprint so it easily fits inside a pack or attaches to an external carry point. Its folding mechanism and short collapsed length keep bulk to a minimum so you don’t lose valuable pack space.

• Collapses to approximately 13 inches for tight storage.
• Lightweight at about 1.1 pounds to minimize carry weight.
• Split or telescopic sections pack together for a low-profile load.

What are the working lengths and how do I use them?

The handle telescopes to provide leverage and reach when digging or shoveling snow. Multiple length settings let you choose a compact posture for clearing small spots or a longer reach for deeper trenches and anchor construction.

• Adjustable from roughly 24 inches up to about 30 inches depending on configuration.
• Quick pop-button locks let you change length in seconds without tools.
• Blade angle can be altered for scooping, cutting, or pushing snow.

What materials and durability features does it include?

The shovel is built from a high-quality aluminum alloy for a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and long service life in cold environments. Reinforced edge geometry and solid joint construction reduce flex and stand up to regular backcountry use.

• Anodized aluminum alloy blade and shaft for corrosion resistance.
• ABS anti-slip handle for secure grip even with gloves on.
• Robust locking mechanisms to prevent accidental collapse while working.

How versatile is the shovel for different backcountry tasks?

This shovel offers multiple functions beyond simple snow removal: it supports avalanche rescue basics, camp site preparation, and makes quick trail clearing easier. The adjustable blade and handle settings let you adapt to shallow crusts or deep powder with a single tool.

• Blade angle adjustments for cutting steps, scooping, or pushing snow aside.
• Light enough for alpine travel yet strong enough to dig anchors or pits.
• Fast assembly and disassembly for changing conditions and rapid stowage.

Who is this for? The G2 Backcountry Lightweight Telescopic Avalanche Snow Shovel is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts who need a dependable, packable shovel: avy-conscious skiers and snowboarders, backcountry hikers, snowmobilers, and anyone building quick snow shelters or clearing campsites. It’s particularly well suited to users who prioritize minimal weight and compact storage without sacrificing structural strength.
