Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Mostly gloves, hat and other stuff for the kid to put on and take off frequently during the day. Plus Pocari Sweat, sunscreen, band-aids, hokensho and digicam. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, candy for energy boosts as needed. Link to post Share on other sites

Snow Huntress - I stacked it with the backpack - especially in the powder, I didnt notice it being any worse or better with it on. Only thing I paid attention to was making sure it wasn't attached to anything before attempting to get off the lifts. Link to post Share on other sites

SantaCruz 0 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I always ride with a backpack/camelbak combo. It holds 2 liters of water (or your liquid of choice) and is easily accessible. Typically I'll go through the whole reservoir in a day. I'm also a big fan of having the back pack to hold my crap such as extra layers, glove liners, beanie, etc. Works out well and it's not to heavy. Link to post Share on other sites

I put my bladder into any backpack, usually works real well. Also sometimes on special occasions I fill that bladder with fermented liquid. Link to post Share on other sites

gurgle 0 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 If in-bounds just a bottle of water and maybe a snack of some sort in a pocket. If going real out of bounds, backpack with shovel, probe, water, some bigger snacks an extra warm layer because I hate being cold. Link to post Share on other sites

Jynxx 4 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Missus carries the backpack with brodzeit sandwitchs and stuff because she doesn't fall down like I do. (she has been boarding since 14) I just have dried fruit and nuts, choc, tissues in my pocket. Camel back might be a good idea. Saves spending money on water on the mountains. I don't get very thirsty during the day though. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 does the camelpac freeze up on the mountain? Link to post Share on other sites
SantaCruz 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I've never had mine freeze. The bladder stays warm since it's inside the backpack. On mine the tube also has some insulate around it. Occasionally it will freeze a little bit around the bite valve, but it's never prevented me from getting water. If it's super cold I think the secret is to blow the water back into the bladder leaving none in the tube. Then it should be 0 problems. But I've never been in weather that cold yet.

This is exactly what most people don't do. You have to blow the water back in. My roommate has been complaining about his freezing forever until I saw him not blowing it back. You just have to force it back down to the bladder is all. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 How would I do a search in Japanese for a hydration system? Tried to explain to a friend, and all I got was "go buy some bottled water". Link to post Share on other sites

Good microbreweries are where it's at. If you haven't had a Long Trail IPA, Redhook Blond, or a Moose Drool I pity you. Joke is funny because it definitely applies to the major producers of beer in America. Link to post Share on other sites
