BCA B-1 EXT Shovel

BCA B-1 EXT Shovel

The BCA B-1 EXT Shovel is BCA’s most popular avalanche shovel used for avalanche safety. The product is extendable and packable.

The B-1 EXT Shovel is both light and extendable for weight conscious skiers and snowboarders that prefer the comfort and functionality of an extendable shovel. 

The Bomber line boasts an off-the-chart strength to weight ratio, while taking up minimal storage space in your pack. Remember, the excavation process in an avalanche rescue is where the most time can be lost or gained.

The BCA B-1 EXT Shovel is part of the BCA TS Rescue Package, BCA T3 Rescue Package and BCA T4 Rescue Package.
