Small but great ski carrier
By gtrantow
Ranked #205 - Winter Packs
November 28, 2008
Pros: Excellent ski carrying A-frame; Internal hydration; no freeze water hose; waistbelt pockets; top load fits everything for a slackcountry day and nothing more.
Cons: Small size limits junk you can carry (good or bad).
Best Use: Hike to ski areas like Aspen Highlands or Telluride; Ski area pack or slack country short trips.
