Wow, I'm impressed.

I don't normally go for the mountaineering gear,,,,,because I don't do any mountaineering, but I just bought a compact snow shovel that is truely impressive. The "Indigo snow logic" shovel folds down to the size of a 3 ring binder, and is very light - 24 oz. I stomped on it, put ALL (205 lbs) my weight on it, and tried twisting it with all my strength. I declare this shovel indestructable. Goodbye yardworks, hello technology.

~ $45

Nice shovel, but....

One thing I used a shovel for a lot on winter trips was building snow walls for windbreaks, either around tents, or lunch stops on peaks. An aluminum blade allows you to very rapidly cut blocks, while the thicker plastic, and more rounded shape of plastic blades resist cutting and tend to break the blocks into pieces.

In addition, you can run your stove on an aluminum blade; I wouldn't want to do that on a plastic shovel blade.

And, after you eventually wreck an aluminum blade shovel, you can use metal from it for car repairs. :)
