What is Avalanche Rescue Shoveling Techniques about?
Shoveling snow is an important part of avalanche rescue. The document provides guidelines for efficiently excavating snow including digging about one wingspan wide and 1.5 times the burial depth downhill. It is best to chop hard avalanche debris into blocks and scoop or "paddle" the snow out rather than lifting scoops. Aluminum shovels are recommended over plastic. For multiple rescuers, two should dig side by side while others dig further downhill, rotating every minute to rest.
