Mammut Freeride 25 Avalanche Package
Great Pack

Purchase pack only at backcountyoutlet.com.I have not experienced any of the problems Peter speaks of, though he does have about 30 lbs on me.I was looking for a ski-specific camelback that could carry a couple extra layers, snacks and my skis or snowboard. This thing definitely fits the bill. The height of the pack and hydration sleeve is perfect for my 3L unbottle. It has plenty of room while remaining fairly minimalist by creating volume in it's height and width more than it's depth, which is good for the lift. Just enough padding on the shoulders, back and hip belt. Materials are tough and will carry a snowboard vertically or skis diagonally or A-frame. Nice touches like the safety whistle integrated in the chest strap clip and elastic bands to tie down the extra length of strap coming from the hip belt let you know that this thing was much better thought out than your little brother.
