Yeah, I also don't like them, like who's doing sick backcountry shit on these tiny hills. And the camelbacks, what are these guys too hardcore to stop for water?

the best are those guys who pretend to look like ski bums, but they are on some shitty hill.

i would say most of the time i have my food and shoes and maybe some gloves and a hat in there... i drop it at the lodge immediately, ski, then i eat lunch, and when i leave i go get my pack and ski back to the parking lot... maybe most people are like me and just pack lunches and shit in there ? who knows ;x

You know what I dont understand? All those kids who dress like thugs. They're on a tiny little mountain, do they think gangsta's are going to pop up and shoot everyone except them because they look "ghetto"?

^somebody at my hill got arrested on mountain for carrying concealed weapons...so you never know.

As far as a backpack, i'd carry food / drink in mine if i didn't just ski over lunch breaks to avoid the crowds.

Colorado Backpacks.. I do a lot of off-piste skiing at Winter Park/Copper/Breckenridge/Crested Butte (Cliff drops). It's good to have a little bit of back protection for some gnarly landings.

I also volunteer as a patrol at Winter Park. So it's good to have all of my medical gear/shovel/probe.

So on my hill, where avalanches are prone to happen, I have my gear.

Also, I can carry a lunch, spare gloves, and I always carry spare goggles from a white-out incedent I had in which i hit a tree with my face, broke my goggles, and had to ski in a blizzard with nothing.

(p.s. I'm not a wanna-be-cop patroller, Don't yell at me... I only yell at people if they're being idiots. I'm really only into it for the medical experience and free skiing)
