Gear List

The goal here is to fit your essential gear into your day ski pack. You should be able to ski in with your day and half pack 2200-3800cc(30-40L), plus some extra beer wieght. No need for monster pack, unless of course you’re a gear head in for a punishing. Good trick is to strap stuffsack full of overflow items onto daypack for hike in.
