Default Rigging snow shovel blade as a deadman snow anchor

I have a Voile snow shovel with two holes in the blade for rigging it as a
deadman snow anchor. Any recommendations on the best material to pass
through the blade holes? 1" tubular webbing? Can a correctly planted snow
shovel be expected to behave like a snow fluke (e.g. if offset from the
slope by 40°) in wet or slushy snow?

Thanks.

Howard
