How to pick a ski backpack?
If you’re only ever going to use it skiing in the resort, there’s no need for a 40-liter backcountry overnight pack. Vice versa, if you’re looking for a bag to do a long ski traverse like the Haute Route or a multiday hut trip in Canada, you’ll want a bag large enough to fit all your gear. A 20L backpack is versatile for everyday activities like commuting, gym, or short hikes. A 30L backpack is better suited for longer hikes, weekend trips, and activities requiring more gear, making it a better all-rounder for travelers and adventurers.A 30L – 50L backpack will be just the ticket. It will be able to hold all your sleeping, cooking, and camping gear you need for trips up to 5 or 6 days.This is why most new backpackers think they need a larger backpack to travel, but with some clever organising and good packing cubes, a 40L backpack could just be the perfect size. You’ll be incredibly surprised at just how small of a space you can fit everything you need for 3, 6 or even 12 months.
What is the ski rule 3?
A skier or snowboarder coming from behind must choose his route in such a way that he does not endanger skiers or snowboarders ahead. The golden rule is simple: always leave enough space to avoid surprises. Consider the other skier’s possible movements—they can’t see you coming and might turn left or right at any moment.The skier or snowboarder must avoid stopping in narrow places or where visibility is restricted. After a fall, they must move clear of the slope as quickly as possible. Do not stop behind a mogul, for example, as this could end in disaster if another skier or snowboarder approaches at high speed.
