Lightweight Gear
If you enjoy working with lightweight gear, check out Backpacking Light. These guys are really on top of it, and do good overall coverage of backcountry skiing gear this time of year.
And speaking of lightweight backcountry skiing gear, we’re already planning an exciting multi-day backcountry skiing traverse for this spring that will require the ultimate in state-of-art lightweight gear. Our focus will be on reducing stove weight, tent weight, and weight of actual pack . Lots of good blogging to come with that.
