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!

The Ski Pack is making an impact nationwide with shipments from coast to coast.    As members of Snowsports Industries America (SIA), you can find us participating in Snowbound Fest, and the Outdoor Retailer Winter Online.  This allows us to connect with retailers nationwide. We know you like to hold a physical product before buying and we couldn't agree more.  That's why we are working to place The Ski Pack in retail stores around the country to make it easily accessible at resorts and retailers near you. Stay tuned for more announcements this year.

Happy New Year!
