    Abstract: A snow shovel (scoop type), that comprises of an inverted U shaped handle with a belly pad for protection and that can be used by the users stomach to help push the shovel. On either side of the belly pad on the top of the handle is room for hand grips. Secured to the handle is a blade with a lip on top to deflect the snow as it comes up the face of the blade. Extending out of the bottom of the handle are two sled like runners. These runners will telescope up into and out of the handle and can be secured in several positions with the use of an appropriate fastener or even a simple carter pin With the runners extended out of the handle this will raise the blade up from the surface of the ground and will allow the blade to remove layers of a heavy snow. The effort in using the shovel is simular to that of using a push power mower and requires very little lifting. The use of the runners will allow the shovel to remove snow from croncrete, asphalt, gravel and virtually any hard flat surface.
