Projects ǀ Grizzly Avalanche Shovel ǀ
For the sports goods manufacturer Ortovox a shovel for avalanche rescue was designed which is compressible, but not by dismantling it into separate, losable pieces. First we have created three completely new technical concepts, of which one was selected in a joint evaluation with Ortovox. In the following stage of development and design process the selected concept turned into the shovel family Grizzly, consisting of the compact model Grizzly I and the comfort edition Grizzly II. Both products were able to assert themselves on the niche market for avalanche shovels. Moreover they are used by many professional mountain rescue teams in the Alps.
