Light powder is a different animal. Wider is better.

Some steel/wood ones in the store weighed about 50# and their round handle is completely unmanageable. Spin and slide geesh. Keep that in mind before ordering online.

I usually use super lightweight plastic el cheapos but looking for something with a wider sweep. I bought a new 24" suncast pusher which didn't want to move our recent wet ice stuff but otherwise fine. It kept catching the edge and giving me a punch in the gut. The other Suncast 18" scooper type warped at the front edge which wore off. It was good while it lasted but that company usually doesn't.


Many pusher type with wheels. I like:

Two-handed sleigh type:
This 24" one was light and sturdy in the store but $70. It needs wheels and not sure how long it will last being dragged across bare concrete loaded. The push angle looks too far downward and catching the front would equate to spilling the load.

This one looks like a good design and only $23. I like.
