Ice & Snow Saws

Read More

A snow saw or ice saw is a multi-purpose tool for backcountry survival. A snow saw can be used to cut compacted snow into blocks for building igloos, snow caves, windwalls or other shelters should the situation dictate. A snow saw makes it easier to cut trenches for deadman snow anchors or V-threads in ice climbing situations and a snow saw is essential for digging precise snow pits to study snow layers and assess stability before skiing or snowboarding in avalanche-prone areas.
