K2 is a leading manufacturer of alpine skis and related products and with the recent growth in the backcountry skiing segment K2 has moved into designing and manufacturing an array of products for the backcountry skier.

K2's mantra for their backcountry products is one of multi-functionality and the Rescue Shovel is no exception.
