Apparatus 10 for a shovel designed for moving snow 14 tangentially while the shovel moves longitudinally along the ground thereby eliminating the need for lifting the shovel during snow removal. The snow shovel of the present invention 10 comprises a latitudinal curved blade 12 with opposing end terminus arcs 40, 42 of differing degrees whereby shoveled material will move from one side of the blade to the other. On the back side of the blade 12 are longitudinal and latitudinal ribs 24 forming an integral part therewith providing reinforcement terminating in a centrally disposed receptacle for a handle mounting plate 30. The handle mounting plate 30 has mating apertures 34 for fixedly fastening the mounting plate to the curved blade 12. Positioned at the apex of the handle plate 30 is a post 46 for press fitting the handle plate to the shaft. The handle grip member 18 also has a post 44 that is inserted into the opposing end of the handle shaft 20.
