Ski Rucksack

Mine is small with a bladder. Is full with all my gear in it.

If I put all that in my pockets I look very bulky!!

Dave, you do a lot if painting? Do you have anything you can share?

Most of what bandit said...

Top tip - Add a foil survival blanket - weighs next to nothing, costs peanuts and could help keep a casualty warm/alive until help arrives. Get one (will even fit in Wicker's pockets). 8)

I only carry a small rucksack if I'm likely to need an extra layer or goggles (too bulky for the pockets) or when I'm not sure where or when we'll get lunch so I'll pack a couple of cereal bars, chocolate and some water.
I've only been told once at a lift to take my rucksack off but you get to know whether you need to or not. Generally old 2-seater lifts are almost impossible without leaning forward dangerously but modern lifts seem able to accommodate a bit of extra bulk.

I carry a rucksack .....
But aren't the contents similar to my wifes' handbag - a total mystery as to what is in their and only ever cleared out once a year?
:roll:

Mrs H carries the rucksack, and doesnt take it off on lifts.
She puts all sorts of weird and wonderful things in it, but included are:

Tissues
Litre of water
Mars/twix bars
Wallet
Her phone
Goggles/sunnies depending on what we're wearing
Lip balm
Fruitellas
Chocolate Eclairs
Hotel room key

Nothing mind bending in there.

I prefer to keep my camera and phone in my jacket pockets.

I find this very confusing I must admit.
Why carry a spare bladder skiing?
I would have thought that nowadays most of the main lifts have toilet facilities and the problem/need would have been eradicated?
:oops:
