From Backcountry.com:
"Tested by Valdez Heli Guides and professional avalanche forecasters, the Life-Link Pit Boss Shovel helps you move tons of snow quickly, yet packs to 11.5in. In addition to the blade's steep sidewalls, which increase strength, it also has a neck-less design, which is both stronger and lower-profile than a standard blade-to-handle interface. With an extendable handle and flat-bottom profile, the Pit Boss is perfect for digging an avie pit or building a huge booter."
From REI:
"Don't gamble with avalanche safety, take the Pit Boss shovel on your next backcountry outing for digging out shelters, testing snowpack or rescue. Shovel design excels at pit shaping for backcountry avalanche safety or, for big air fans, building kickers with ease. Expert Exum guide Mark Newcomb helped design the Pit Boss, ensuring a 30cm width for standardized compression, shear and tap snow tests. T-grip handle is comfortable and manageable with gloves on, providing superb leverage and control. Stronger sidewalls, stiffening ribs and integrated welded sleeve eliminates the classic weak point of extended-neck shovels. Lightweight, powder-coated aluminum blade and anodized aluminum shaft provide faithful service and performance; powder-coating resists snow sticking. Holes in the blade and handle allow shovel to be equipped with webbing straps for lashing to pack."
