Hello experts on backcountry grear!

I've been looking for about a year for a ski-pack that would fit a woman
like me (4'11") with a tiny torso. The closest I have come so far to finding
the pack of my dreams is a Life-Link "Boundry" pack (that i have stolen from
someone and now have to give back). Do any of the super-cool backcountry
girls out there have any other ideas? (the boys can have ideas, too, but
remember that im a dwarf!)


_ You might look into "hydration packs" some of them are quite
short. They probably don't have enough volume though. The
Lowe Durango is pretty short. I've been using it as a chairlift
pack since I can carry it high enough to not hit the back of the
chair.

_ I recently got a Vaude pack for my 3 year old daughter. For
her it's a full blown packpack, but was designed as a "hydration
pack". It has these very cool adjustable straps that adjust on
both ends. They make a bunch of overdesigned hydration packs that
might fit your bill. Check out this site:

_ I'm guessing you're going to have to start with a frame
that fits and do some customization. Actually, as I look
at that page some more it looks like some of the larger
VauDe packs might work for you as well. This one
features the same adjustable strap system.

_ Good Luck!

P.S. Any snow yet?
