The BCA 35 cm snow saw not only cuts both snow and ice, but it can also cut wood. It is the ideal length for isolating snow columns for stability tests. The blade comes equipped with a protective sheath to prevent it from ripping or scratching up your gear. Laser-etched markings every 5 cm on the blade allow for a precise cut. 14 mm/16 mm diameter lower stud allows attachment to an adjustable ski pole with 14 mm or 16 mm clamp. Designed with North America’s most experienced avalanche educators, the saw is a high functioning snow safety tool. The 35 cm saw is a BCA tool that is necessary to possess for pit digging and is required in most avalanche classes. The snow saw snaps into the upper shaft of our BCA Scepter adjustable ski poles. The snow saw will also fit on other touring ski poles, since the mount on the saw has two different diameters.
