Alugator Light Shovel
As the lightest shovel in Mammut's line, the Alugator Light Shovel is ideal for backcountry travelers who want to shave every ounce from their kit without compromising reliable function. The sharpened aluminum blade is tilt-proof and strong, and features attachment holes that can be used to construct a snow anchor or rescue sled. You'll appreciate the blade's straight back when you're shaving the walls of your snowpit to get an accurate snow profile. The telescoping handle is easy to adjust so you can optimize your digging efficiency, and collapses into a compact package to easily fit, along with the blade, in a small daypack.

Lightweight, packable and works
I've used this a few times for snow camping, to dig tent platforms and kitchen areas. It's pretty light and easy to fit in a backpack or shovel pocket. The black and orange color is very easy to see against the snow. It's easy to put together and take apart. My only minor complaint is that the handle doesn't feel super solid (can wiggle a bit), but it's never caused a problem for me. I'm happy with it overall.

Light easy to pack - when its really cold the button is hard to press down, but that is probably the case with most shovels

Cheap, Reliable, Lightweight
I love how lightweight and packable this shovel is. Compared to many others on the market the blade is small and it packs well in my mountaineering pack where weight and size mean everything. The handle is plenty long enough to use comfortably and is easy to construct and use. Great for anyone, and it's pink!

this has been a huge upgrade from my 15 year old voile. i've been excited to have a quality, strong, compact shovel that doesn't have a neck. this makes the fit way better in my bag. it has been used for snowpits, digging out and igloos as well.

Small but mighty
This is my go-to shovel anymore. I timed myself multiple times utilizing a larger blade d handle style shovel and found I was faster and less tired using the smaller lighter shovel. I got 5 years of a lot of use out of one before I decided to retire it to a parking lot car shovel. I highly recommend this shovel for folks that carry shovels resort skiing due to its compact blade and handle and lightweight
