Pack or no pack??

[koreshot]

Do we get to hear the story about you getting your pack stuck in the chair on the beginner lift again?

I love that one...

:dunce:

That could be why I stopped wearing one

I never heard the phrase 420 until I started UVM in 1997

Started hearing it on Dead tour... Early 90's

Yup, sometime around 91-92, not at a Dead show. But I've known my share of deadheads.

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

mostly not, but if I'm West or have a case of the IRISH FLU in the morning, i'll thro on my Camebak SNODAWG with some fluids and food....

 

[deadheadskier]

Rarely

Only if I'm skiing out of bounds in an area I'm unfamiliar with. I just don't like how they feel on my back. Never skied with a camelback either, but have considered it.

Do camelbacks keep beer fresh? kidding

Sure, but they're a pain in the ass to clean out.

As for a pack, I don't wear one, unless I'm planning on being out of bounds.

Out of bounds yes. When I don't plan on going in all day, such as a powder day I do, mainly for the 3 liter water pack in it. I don't like how it pushes me forward on lifts though. Plus it makes me look like Im just wearing it to look like a back country person.

I usually wear a real slim camelback under my jacket when I don't have my big pack on.

That's what I usually do when I'm skiing a full day somewhere. I've yet to wear an actual pack, but I've thought about it on days I didn't want to stop...

I only wear a pack when I am patrolling. I really don't like the way it feels when you are on the lift. I like to enjoy a nice comfortable lift ride and the pack always seems to get in the way. Anything I need when I am not patrolling will generally fit in my pockets.
