So when I went up to stevens a couple days ago I saw a lot of people with backpacks on groomed runs. (especially the green runs)
Is this a fashion trend or what?
I'll ride with a camelbak that fits under my jacket to stay hydrated, when I am doing resort stuff and not always. It's more of a skin than a backpack though.
I also ride with a camelbak to stay hydrated and wear it under my jacket, but it looks like I have a humpback. Do you have this problem as well or is your camelback that slim? If it is that slim do you have a link or photo of which bak you use?
And in addition to my other comment, I was very happy when my friend had a whole first aid kit with that cover that gives warmth or something(the gold kinda paper). When my GF got an accident by a skier who didn't know it's limits on a double black, I was happy to use it. (She did had to go to the hospital with the heli, but still). I don't think you could fit all that in you pocket.
I will agree that if I'm staying around the lift where I parked, there is no point to bring it, but when your on the other side of the hill and it takes 5-6 lifts to get back where you are, it's nice to pound a few beers and rip a few bowls in the trees.
Ususally we park beside the park and just stay around the same lift and blaze/drink in the car and leave the backpack at home.
I'm sure it leaves a little bit of a hump. It's less noticeable as you drink the water out of it...
