i have last years helipro II the 20L one and was wonderin if anyone knew a good shovel that fits it and recommendations on a good shovel in general. mostly for buildin jumps not really for avy's (im out east). i was thinking backcountry access companion (bigger shovel head), backcountry access traverse EXT (smaller shovel head), or a voile shovel. Idk much but it would be great if you could help me out.

+Karma for good suggestions

you want as much metal as possible and an extendable handle if you're building lots of jumps

otherwise it doesn't matter that much which exact one you get
