Ortovox Ravine 26S
The Ravine 28S is a modern freeride pack that will make all your other packs envious. The Full Contact Light Back System is ergonomic and distributes weight evenly across the back, providing a secure fit for skiing. A separate safety compartment allows for quick access to safety equipment while a side zipper provides easy access to the main compartment. Similar to skimo-style packs, the Ravine 28S has a quick carry system, which allows the skis to be quickly stowed without taking the pack off. The Ravine 26S also has a separate "crampon pocket" that can also be accessed without removing the pack, allowing convenient storage of crampons, ski crampons, or if you're so inclined, pop tarts. For vertical pursuits, the rope attachment is secure and easy to use while ice axes can be stowed inside the safety compartment or on the outside of the pack. Blurring the lines between freeride and ski mountaineering, the Ravine 28S is a smart choice for all skiers.
