The Ski Pack caught the attention of top names in the ski industry this winter. Axios Denver highlighted their top 10 favorite gear finds from the Outdoor Retailer Snow show 2022 and The Ski Pack was top on the list.  Turns out a youth invention has started moving mountains.

Looking to connect with us this winter?  We will be participating in the Outdoor Retailer Snow show January 26-28, 2022 at the Denver Convention Center in Denver, CO.   We look forward to connecting with members of the ski industry as they plan their inventory for upcoming ski seasons.

The holidays are quickly approaching and we want to celebrate with you.  The biggest sales of the season will launch on Friday, November 26 and you don't want to miss it.  The Ski Pack will allow your family to carry your skis with ease and change your mountain experience.  Inventory is moving quickly this season and you don't want to miss out. Join the fun and order your Ski Pack.

What's different this ski season?  Everything.  The Ski Packs have gone through extensive testing and passed with flying colors.   What's unique about the Ski Pack?  Weighing ~3 oz The Ski Pack has been tested to support 100 lb of weight.  The heaviest skis we found were only 15 lb., but there was no stopping this test once it started.   There are no harmful chemicals in our materials that cause risk to you or your loved ones.   Multi-use.  Turns out The Ski Pack truly is designed to be used over, and over again without fail.  This mean, the Ski Pack grows with you versus being outgrown annually like your youth's other winter gear.   Availability.  The Ski Pack is available through our website, in mountain retail shops, and e-commerce website (ex. Uncommon Goods).  

Snow is falling in the mountains and ski resorts are quickly prepping for opening day.  It's that time of year when families are buying new clothes for rapidly growing kids and trading in ski equipment for the next size up as well.  With The Ski Pack there are 2 sizes, Little Kid and Big Kid, which means you only move up once.  Our Ski Pack grows with you.  It truly is, "the gift that keeps on giving." See you at the slopes!

We are eager to share Ski Pack enhancements for the upcoming ski season. After a year on the market it was clear that big kids like bright colors just as much as little kids.  So, going forward you will see the same Ski Pack color availability in  the Little Kid and Big Kid size.  This allows users of all ages to have color selection that reflects their personality.   You will also notice short term Ski Pack color options periodically throughout the year.  There will be limited availability of these which makes them unique and reflect fun colors which the Ski Pack inventors personally select.  While we are just wrapping up the first season on the market, we are already looking to next season with enthusiasm to help more families ease the walk to the chair lifts.
