The Brooks-Range Compact EXT Sharktooth Shovel is a trusted tool for avalanche professionals and guides worldwide. Built tough enough to handle the rugged conditions of the remote Brooks Range in Alaska, the Compact EXT Sharktooth Shovel has been aggressively and extensively tested to ensure it will work when you need it most. Assembled, the shovel is 40" and weights just over 790 g. The Sharktooth Shovel cuts through hard, icy snow with ease, making short work of the most demanding conditions. The smaller blade size of the Compact shovel allows for better endurance while shoveling, compared to larger blade sizes.
