This snow saw from Backcountry Access was designed with some of North America's most experienced avalanche educators to be a highly functional snow safety tool. Perfect for snow stability tests. Cut snow, ice, and wood. Snaps into the upper shaft of the adjustable BCA Scepter Poles to make a long-handled saw (2 different mount diameters for use with other poles as well). Snow saws like these are required in many avalanche courses.
