Backcountry Pack List
Long comprehensive list of gear I bring on most day-long ski tours.
Pack: Look for something in the 30 to 45L range for most single day tours. If you're doing an overnight you should look into 80L+. One of our favorite packs is the Norrona Lyngen 45L that is backcountry specific and can pack all the essentials.
