Mammut Alugator Ultra

"The Alugator Ultra from Mammut is one of the lightest aluminum shovels on the market and impresses with its modern design and innovative materials. This shovel, which won the ISPO Award 2023, is the first of its kind with a welded construction and a shovel blade only 1 mm thick made of 7075aluminum, which is also used in aviation and space travel. This design ensures that the bucket does not compromise on performance despite its low weight."
"Particularly noteworthy is the telescopic handle with double-T cross-section, which ensures optimum lateral- and torsional rigidity and offers outstanding grip. The symmetrical T-handle enables efficient power transmission, which makes shoveling easier and faster. The hardened and anodized aluminium shovel blade is not only robust, but also equipped with stabilization ribs for particularly high stability. It is ideal for cutting snow profiles thanks to its straight back end."
"The space-saving shovel blade design and the automatic locking mechanism for fast, precise folding during assembly make the Alugator Ultra an indispensable companion on ski tours. With a width of 22 cm and a length of 24 cm, the shovel blade is compact, while the handle can be extended from 39 cm to 75 cm. In emergency situations where every second counts, the UIAA certification guarantees the highest safety standards and durability"
