Life-Link Snow Saw
The Life-Link Snow Saw is great for cutting blocks or digging snow pits. The design reduces skating on ice and packed snow, while the length is designed for optimum block size and ease of packing. The giant Cross Cut teeth cut smoothly on the pull and push. The Snow Saw has a pistol grip with a rubber sleeve for insulation and comfort. The one-piece design comes with a blade protector. -Vendor

Bomber Saw
Don't trust shovel saws, as they are too flexible and short for cutting columns in the snow pack. Basically they are about as useful as a ski pole. Plus, it needs to be attached to the shovel handle in order to use it. This leaves you without a shovel for testing and shaping your snowpit. Bottom Line-Go with the independent snow saw. It's not heavy, and allows you to work much faster in the backcountry.

Training Tips
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
As a long distance runner, a gradual increase in distance each week will allow you to build a solid areobic base. Distance increase should be no more than 10% of the previous week's distance.
When buying a new pair of running shoes, bring your old ones with you. You will get a better fit if you know if you supinate or pronate.
