- ▼Product Description
The Mammut Alugator Pro Light Hoe is a high-performance avalanche shovel built for backcountry skiers and ski tourers who demand reliable, fast-deploying rescue equipment in avalanche terrain. The tiltproof, hardened anodised aluminium blade pairs with an ergonomically shaped D-grip to deliver maximum stability and force transfer during sustained shovelling, while the oval telescopic shaft with automatic spring lock allows rapid, precise assembly under pressure. What sets the Alugator Pro Light Hoe apart is its variable shaft positioning that converts the shovel into a 90-degree hoe or pick, enabling the T-grip excavation technique that significantly speeds up victim extraction. The straight blade back also doubles as a snow profile cutter, and integrated attachment holes support use as a snow anchor or rescue sled component, making this one of the most versatile UIAA 156-certified shovels available.
