It never hurts to have options. The Mammut Alugator Ride 3.0 Hoe offers two blade positions to maximize efficiency and help you move large amounts of snow as quickly as possible. Use it as a regular shovel when chopping and shoveling, or attach the blade at a 90˚ angle and use as a hoe when dragging the snow makes more sense. Burly construction with attachment holes for snow anchors and rescue sleds make this shovel suitable for professionals and guides, but even casual backcountry users should seriously consider adding this premium tool to their kit.
