Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The Ortovox Professional Aluminum avalanche shovel is ideal for ski mountaineers and freeriders who demand the highest standards in function and design. This Ortovox shovel has a telescopic handle and an ergonomically designed, non-slip grip which works for right or left handers. Flip the handle around and you have a unique scoop which allows you to pull snow toward you for a sheer test or reach down and raise snow out of a snow pit. The Aluminum/magnesium alloy shovel blade won't break under heavy loads."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Ortovox Professional ALUPeople will take an admirable look at the PROFESSIONAL ALU. The unique design fulfils the highest demands of functionality. Thanks to the torsion-free aluminium-/magnesium alloy the shovel blade is very strong and unbreakable. The ergonomic grip offers the best grip for left and right handers. The shovel can be used as a hoe and - beside the classic fields of use for an avalanche shovel- it is just right for building a kicker. The sharp edge enables the user to cut into the hard snow without burning too much of their own energy.Features:SHOVEL BLADE: Aluminium-Alloy 30 x 23 x 5 cmSHOVEL HANDLE: Aluminium 70 cmWEIGHT: 660 g"

"I broke this shovel the first time I used it. I live in Alaska and took a 3 day avalanche class. On the first rescue digging drill, I started digging, then the 2 little aluminum rivets that hold the plastic handle on the shovel sheared off and the plastic handle kept on falling off of the shovel."
