Interesting Ski backpack
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
_ While poking around at the Hagan web site I found this http://www.backtools.de/ A very cool idea, I wonder how well it works in practice and how heavy it is. _ Booker C.

I don't think I'd want to be bent over like that when trying to save a buds life. Personally, I'd go with a metal blade also. Ed Huesers http://www.grandshelters.com |

I would rather have a real shovel, preferably with a metal blade and longer handle. Avvy debris is not soft and fluffy.

Avvy debris is not soft and fluffy. _ All true, I suspect the shovel is a kind of afterthought and it does feature a "mobile phone pocket" and will fit "any laptop". However, since we carry shovels anyway and skis sometimes, it would be nice to use that nice stiff shovel to better carry the skis. Even the best ski carry systems on day trip sized packs suck. You need a frame to fix the skis away from the body to do it right. _ Booker C.

You need a frame to fix the skis away from the body to do it right. _ Booker C. Bense The cell phone and laptop capabilities sound like something that would be used 99% of the time for urban living by someone who wants to look extreme and outdoorsy. Part of the Spring skiing thing at Tucks on Mt. Washington in NH, is seeing the amazing variety of ways that people have devised to carry their skis and other gear up from Pinkham. Some of them work very well, some cause painful laughing. My winter daypack has a simple frame, and I need to be able to attach (at various times) fat skis, skinny skis, poles, snowshoes, ice ax, crampons, pad, and tripod.
