Voile Mini Shovel
The Mini is the most compact shovel Voile offers and stores conveniently in your backcountry pack. Bigger shovels often hog up space inside your pack or don't even fit in a pack's external shovel pocket at all. The Mini, with its telescoping handle for extended reach and leverage, collapses into a tight little package, 23” tall and 24oz. Why choose a plastic shovel when you can get the strength of metal in the Mini? [Available in red only.]

mini built tough
The mini shovel can handle anything a bigger metal shovel can with ease. The super sturdy construction makes it vastly superior to a lexan blade for cutting through ice and debris, and the smaller size won’t tax your back when lifting dense snowpack. I find I dig faster with this unit than with a full size blade which is the most important factor when trying to save your buddy. Killer Shovel!!!
Chop chop... et Voilé
I'd just like to say that I've been impressed with this shovel but I have a couple of important quibbles with it. Cutting snow out for avalanche tests, a very important function of a back country shovel, would be made much easier by the cutting area and base of the scoop being flat. The concavity of this shovel and the trough running along most of its base made cutting the snow flat very awkward, and compression tests difficult and painful enough to be unreliable. This is a big design flaw but not insurmountable. I hope to see a redesign on the market soon as it is potentially a very good product.
Super Light- great value
This is a badass shovel- It is super light and compact- yet can move snow like the bigger voile shovels. The shovel head is tough enough to take on any type of snow!! Great Buy!!! recommend to anyone who wants to shed the lbs for a shovel. I would prefer to have a "D" shaped handle so that I can grip it better with mittens or gloves... other than that.. great buy!!!

Training Tips
Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.
One of the best ways to win a running race is to win it in your mind first. Visualize yourself running and winning that important race. The more often you do this, you will start to "feel" the race. Your heart will get pumping and your body will feel the effort required to get the job done.
Be serious about getting and staying in shape. Create a written plan that outlines the steps you are taking and the expected result by a certain date. Review your plan frequently and adjust as necessary. Do what it takes to get what you want.
Buy running gear made with performance fabrics - Supplex, Coolmax, Lycra, Goretex - that allow for full range of motion.
