Backcountry Access Dozer

The hoe mode allows you to pull snow toward you rather than lifting and throwing it. This is significantly faster and less physically demanding when you are clearing large amounts of debris during a rescue or digging out a snow shelter.

Yes, the Dozer is designed with a flat-packing blade that eliminates protruding ferrules, allowing it to sit flush against the back panel of most packs. When collapsed, it measures just 38.7 cm, making it easy to stow without taking up excessive space.

Absolutely. The blade is constructed from heat-treated 6061 T6 aluminum and features a stompable edge, which is specifically designed to withstand the force of your boot when you need to penetrate hard-packed or icy snow.

The spring pin system is engineered for rapid, hands-free assembly, which is critical when every second counts in an emergency. It is a proven, robust mechanism that locks the shaft and blade securely into place without requiring manual fiddling.

Yes, the blade has a smooth surface, which is ideal for creating clean, flat snowpit walls. This makes it a reliable tool for analyzing snowpack layers and stability during your backcountry assessments.

The ovo-concave shape is specifically engineered to increase the shaft's rigidity and strength-to-weight ratio. It prevents the handle from twisting or bending under heavy loads, providing more leverage than a standard round tube.
