Stray from the marked runs.
When all the in-bounds pow at the resort gets chewed up within 30 minutes of the lifts opening, head through the gates with your Burton Side Country 18L Backpack (and a riding buddy) and shred freshies to your heart''s content. This pack sports a low-profile, body-hugging design that won''t seem like a burden when you''re doing quick out-of-bounds laps, but still offers enough room for all the backcountry essentials.
Even if you rode a lift to get to the gate, you still need all your avalanche safety gear, which is why Burton included a dedicated snow tool pocket on this pack. It also has A-frame and vertical board carry options for when the gate is simply a starting point for more ambitious ascents. The ergonomic shoulder harness and minimalist waist belt ensure a stable, comfortable fit when you''re riding down, and airflow zones on the compression-molded back panel keep you from getting bogged down with sweat during the approach.
