The biggest snow dumps leave huge backcountry (and park) potential. But escaping the driveway comes first. A bent 2.5mm thick bruiser formed from T-6 6061 aluminum, DMOS Stealth Shovel is about pure leverage in town, on the trail and in the trees. While testers at first questioned the tool’s capacity for output, it didn’t take long to realize there’s generous usable volume in the blade itself. Once the adjustable power shaft is deployed, any size user gets to work fast. Break it down, take it to the hill and be ready along the way to provide aid to less-capable winter drivers who were doomed to serious ditch sessions. Our favorite color, Grizz Brown, stands out when building features but never looks overdone even as you sculpt a fantasy take-off. Add capability with the optional, in-handle snow saw to make hut trips or snow machine-enabled pursuits even richer.
