Our top-of-the-line UIAA certified shovel built for professional use, the Black Diamond Evac features a unique handle that can be set up in in both standard shovel and hoe mode for digging test pits or rapid snow removal. The large blade moves lots of snow quickly, and a flat-bottom profile helps you get a good clean face on your pit wall. The updated, extendable shaft eliminates the possibility of jamming in the field while the modified large D handle increases comfort for long days involving multiple pits and speeds up digging time during an emergency.
Features:
- Updated telescoping shaft eliminates jamming.
- Durable anodized blade.
- Shovel converts easily into hoe mode from the same attachment point for snow removal and excavation.
- Lead ins on blade allow rapid assembly and swapping of modes.
- Compact D-handle with comfortable dual-density grip.
- Evac 9 has larger blade volume and longer handle for professional use.
- UIAA certified.

The best large shovel on the market.
Originally posted at www.blackdiamondequipment.com on Jul 24, 2024As with any large shovel it moves a lot of snow quickly, but the small details add up. The curve in the handle that allows for a hoe mode makes for a great spot to hold the shovel on extended digging for snow walls or rescues. The blade makes straight and smooth snow pit walls easy (unlike some other company’s shovels). One warning, because it’s a large shovel, make sure it fits in your chosen pack. Smaller/lighter packs may come with smaller rescue gear pockets.
For expedition and professional use, this shovel is a must in the team. We brought one to Denali last season and combined with a snow saw, it became the shovel that everyone was looking for to get camp chores from cook shelter construction to building wind walls done.

Efficient shovel
Originally posted at www.blackdiamondequipment.com on Mar 9, 2024If you want a shovel that dogs efficiently. This is it. Whether you are a backcountry skier or a ski patroller, this shovel is gray quality. I like the comfort of the handle and how the handle extends. From finding someone in an avalanche to digging snow pits, would highly recommend.

Kat was so helpful!
5 /5
Kat was so patient with all my questions and truly helped me figure out what gear would work best for me! She recommended me a good couple of boards and went into detail on each one and what the different features were and how they’d benefit me. As someone who buys for looks and pretty colors, I’m glad I had help to be confident in my purchase for my ride style and experience level!

Noah was Great!
5 /5
I was unsure what ski gear to buy, but Noah settled all my worries. He was extremely knowledgeable and sent me a video explaining everything which gave the whole experience a more personal feel. I am very happy I matched with Noah because he was able to find the best skis for me and answered all my other questions!!

5 /5
As someone buying skis for the first time, but having skied for a few years Leo was incredibly helpful! He took into account what I prioritized but also explained why a suggestion might be out of my initial request. For example, he got ahead of my question on why bindings are expensive and why it is important to not only focus on the skis but the bindings as well.

Frankie really dialed in the board for me
5 /5
He has extensive knowledge, and was really able to find the perfect setup for me and my riding style as well as my bank account. Also was honest and kept me from making a purchase that I might regret. We talked for at least an hour and the whole time he was very helpful. All in all he really knows his stuff when it comes to getting you into the perfect set up. I highly recommend him. Thanks again Frankie.

Tyler was awesome!
5 /5
I’ve been using a board from 2005 for the last 4 or so years now. Finally decided it was time to upgrade but had no idea of what to upgrade to. He asked what I was looking for, and ended up narrowing it down to exactly what I need/want, to further my skills. He’s very knowledgeable and approachable, and overall very friendly. Was nice talking to Tyler and I’m super stoked to get up on the mountain.
