Backcountry Access Stash Pack - 976cu in - 2007

The Backcountry Access Stash Pack neatly stows your shovel and probe for inbounds riding or quick tours out the backcountry gate, and features an integrated winter hydration system to keep your water from freezing. The BCA Stash Backpack's hydration system not only insulates the tube inside the shoulder strap, but uses heat from your body to warm the water. Mesh on the inside of the shoulder harness transfers your body heat to an Outlast material, which stores the heat and keeps your water above freezing even in bitter cold conditions. Built for resort skiing or quick out-of-bounds tours, this chairlift-friendly pack has been stripped of hanging straps and excessive pockets. The Stash Pack's diagonal ski carry, plus shovel and probe pockets, make it easy for you to pack up and pounce on the powder as soon as the backcountry gates open.

Bottom Line: The resort-ready Backcountry Access Stash holds all the water (not ice) and gear you need for the day.

How comfortable is this on a ski lift? And is the insulation really that much better than camelbak?

The insulation is pretty good, keeps water flowing in most temps, up to the retarded -20 degree C days. And it is pretty comfortable on the lift, although most places ask you to take it off and hold it.

If you're a skier, I'd go with this pack - if you're a boarder, go with the Stash Rider. I have a Rider, and it's a great carry system for a board - properly hitching the board to the pack with the carry system yields and efficient way to do it. If you're a skier, I'd stick with this pack - the great thing about the diagonal carry is that it'll keep the skis out of your way while you hike. BCA designs some pretty smart gear.

Not really for the long haul

By:
November 29, 2008

I got the stash rider pack, and after a year or so of use, I'm looking for something different. I do really like the insulated hydration sleeve, which can keep the supply of water in subzero conditions. It is very minimalist by design, so it is quite light. But about halfway through one season, the hipbelt ripped off. Also, I've got a pretty long torso (I'm 6'4") so this pack rides up all the time and feels like it will flip over my head. It will fit a full size Voile type shovel but it is pretty tight. When you have avy gear and water there isn't room for much more. Maybe skins and some food.

If this pack fits, and you only use it for out of bounds ski area pursuits, it could work for you. But actually hiking with a split board on it, or doing any camping out, I don't know if it's your bag.

Is this pack pretty stable on your body if I were to use it for snowboarding, or does it move around and have a lot of play in it?

As long as you keep everything cinched down tight the pack should have minimal movement.

Great For The Short Trips

By:
December 15, 2008

I got the the Stash Pack for the short trip to areas like Altas Catherines area, Targhee backcountry access areas. It hauls the skis just fine and packs enough extra gear for the short trips. If you are planning an all day Hike and Ski go with the next size up for additional storage. I have used it 4 times this year and it has worked great for what I needed. Stores the shovel and probe just fine and leaves enough room for additional gear and food, and also enough water for the day, without having to worry about it freezing up.

I read the answer above and I will be using this pack with skis.
Comparing the stash & stash rider packs, which one do you feel is the superior pack to use with skis?
I have heard the stash system holds skis well and is easy getting them on and off the pack.
Are skis stable on the stash pack?
Are there any other reasons why the stash might make a better ski pack?

get the stash if you are carrying skis. they are basically the same pack except for the stash has a ski carrier and the stash rider has a snowboard carrier. You will have a very hard time carrying skis with the stash rider.

I ordered the black version of the Stash (which appears to be the 08/09 version) and that pack has a loop. I also ordered the red version of the Stash (which, per the included documentation says that it's the 07/08 version) and that bag has the bottom velcro strap.
