I don't know a whole heap about snow saws, every one that I've seen in the far north was an old dead rip-saw because in the cold you want to limit chances of cutting yourself. On the mountains I've seen some specialized gear, but honestly I think it all comes down to who's buying the gear, and who's carrying it. No reason it can't be some nice light material, just so long as one of the crew doesn't leave it up the side of a mountain. I've seen lots of igloo work done with basically a wooden machete.
