Anyone know about a good snow saw for cornice cutting? I have a G3 Bonesaw, but it's too light.

But I still need a good saw to make the cuts on the sides.

I have the Ortovox folding saw that is pretty tough. The only challenge has been that the handle connector hole didn't match up with our Life-Link, G3 or Voile shovel handles. So I put a little wooden dowel inside to make sure I didn't collapse the tubing and drilled some matching holes. Then, I pulled the wooden dowel out. Now, it works great regardless of which shovel we pack.

No you don't. Watch the videos on the BB website.
