Built for speed when it matters most, the Mammut Alugator Light is a UIAA-certified avalanche shovel engineered for backcountry skiers and ski tourers who demand reliability without the weight penalty.The blade is crafted from ultra-durable anodized aluminum — sharpened and tilt-proof — so it cuts through compacted snow efficiently. Integrated attachment holes let you quickly rig a snow anchor or improvised rescue sled, adding critical versatility in an emergency.The oval-shaped telescopic shaft assembles fast and locks automatically for precise length adjustment, while the symmetrical T-grip maximizes energy transfer so you can move more snow with less effort. When the dig is done, the compact blade collapses small enough to fit in a minimalist ski pack — because in an avalanche rescue, every second counts.
