Product description
Grizzly II is the biggest snow shovel Ortovox currently offers. It is made for moving lots of snow fast whether you are digging snow pits or building large jumps on regular basis. It is also a great one to have in the trunk of your car during the winter months.
For fast rescues Ortovox made the Grizzly’s assembly system so efficient that you can start shoveling within a second. And there is no messing up during the assembly process as the handle just spins around, clicks itself and is ready to use.
Shovel blade has claw-like shape with a sharp front edge that cuts easily through any type of snow and crusts.
Shovel handle is a D-grip style and featuring a sanded grip coating just above the scoop. The handle can also hook up to the blade in a 90 degree angle creating a hoe-like tool. This is very convenient for pulling large amounts of snow.
The Grizzly II is manufactured out of aluminum and made to last. If you want a big sturdy shovel get this one. For a little smaller and lighter snow shovel, yet as tough as the Grizzly, check out the Ortovox Pro Alu II.
