Osprey Packs Kode 30 Backpack - 1600-2000cu in
Dreamy ski pack

I put my Kode 30 to good use with a ski mountaineering ascent of Mt Matier in the coast range of BC in a whiteout...good times. First impressions go a long way, and I must say, that is one of the best carrying/best skiing packs I have worn. Tight and low to my body, and after a little bit of orientation all of the features made amazing sense to me. Ski carry was a dream and a quick transition on the 50 degree booting to the summit. Ice axe was secured great, snacks were quickly accessible, snow tools were in their own pouch. The Kode 30 is an amazing addition to my quiver, and easily held all of my gear for a glaciated ski tour in white out weather.
