Burton AK 23L Backpack - 2008
The Burton AK 23L Backpack carries your snowboard to those hard-to-reach places. The considerable capacity holds lunch and extra layers, and Burton included external pockets for your poles and shovel. Inside the AK pack, you’ll find a fleece-lined goggle pocket and a sleeve for your hydration bladder. This daypack'ss ergonomic shoulder pads and back-panel won’t hinder your movements when you’re spinning off a cornice or going to town on a fallen tree. Compression straps reduce the bulk of the backpack so it rests close to your body and won’t wobble around while you ride. - Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: Don’t pay for turns.
Leave your mark on The Wall.
Hey Guys, look I don't know whether it's just me and
Hey Guys, look I don't know whether it's just me and my friends or what, but no one I know can figure out how to keep the shovel in the pocket without added help. I am looking at having a velcro strap sewn on, am I doing something wrong? If you can help, thanks very much.

The shovel pocket on this bag is designed for Voile Avalanche shovels, which are the most commonly used.
You are right that (ironically) the Burton shovel doesn't fit this pack. But they don't sell many of them. There are some interesting retrofits discussed on the (old) BMB, such as sticking an old ski pole handle into the shovel blade, so it fits the packs shovel strap and holds it in.
Its worth just getting a Voile shovel if you have this pack, though.
You can even get them with probes, snow saws, or wood saws stashed in the handles. Pretty Sweet.

The pack designers couldn't convince the hard goods guys to change the shovel, so decided the make the best pack they could for the most common (and popular) shovel out there.
