I ski there Im at Stratton Rn

Going in 6 days

What trail?

Great video man. I'm looking at these asolos too as my foot is wide. I do primarily flat/medium hills on gravel trails up by new paltz. Your thoughts on these asolos for this type of hiking walking? 3-5 mile distances?

Looks like you really aren’t able to ski at the level of the horseshoe demands. As a former two year season pass holder at Breckenridge, the horseshoe was always fun in the spring.

Place sucks grew up there! They don't give a shit about anybody there, just real estate! Green credits that's funny, they use all the water for snowmaking and pollute the valley floor. They are the most destructive. Tightass corporation in America. They run vail from Broomfield, what a joke! 300.00 per day lift tickets, hardly a family sport anymore.

Geez, that was a nasty combination of speed and bumps in the trees. Glad you were OK. Love the snow falls and the tree skiing on your video.

That lower part of Vail is pretty steep even for green runs and of course that tiny bit of blue on Born Free.

Good video. I appreciate right to the point and moving on.

What pants are those

Thanks a million for this brilliant review that is tailor made for my use case. Having seen your BYOB 10 so nicely integrated with the bag, I shall be ordering the Stratos right now. Good to see that your Capture Clip seems to fit on the strap OK. I'm a little cautious of mine now, ever since I went to clip in my camera only to find the clip missing a screw and about to fall off; I'd just had a series of long flights with the bag as my carry-on (I found the screw later sitting on my bed!). It's a definite risk when using the Capture Clip with thickly padded straps; I see you've replaced your screws with the Allen version which is probably prudent. I check my thumbscrews now with every outing, and will hopefully be able to attach a carabiner to the Osprey that I can clip the camera wrist strap to, for security.

love the picking up the trash. Respect man!

Such a great review with so many jokes - I must say I bought a female version of the pack partially to remember you and chuckle during my trips :D

Great Video! I am going there to ski in two days and I am super exited about it!

The most entertaining, thorough, informative, technically accurate review of any review of any backpack on KZbin. Bravo. Bravo.

It's a full leather glove. Just put the gloves on and rub them together.

Bruh the Thule wing bars are 550 now

Nice man , im planning mount Washington Huntington ravine trail next summer. Going down lions head trail. Any tips?

is it passable in the winter?

i cant imagine complaining the whole time while being on Breckenridge but that's impressive you were able to 🤣

Enjoyed your video!! Thanks for sharing 😊

My legs are burning watching this

The squeeze isn't worth the juice!

What about the most important item ,your footwear?

Best resort in Colorado. Wish it was less expensive and less crowded. But it's the best. 1. Vail 2. Aspen-Snowmass 3. Beaver Creek 4. Telluride

Way too much traversing at Breck. That's why I avoid it.

Does the old one work with the new one?

I did this loop plus added Twin mountain for a total distance of 9 miles. The first view was my favorite since you can see Mt. Greylock and Mt. Frissell, 2 state highpoints from it, along with other famous mountains in CT and Mass. I found this incredibly challenging with all the uphills. I think you undersold the difficulty a little. There is also an awesome lookout point at the notch, which was a perfect lunch spot. I'd actually recommend going counter clockwise as you'd do all the elevation in the beginning and then have mostly flat on your way back. But its a great introduction to the Devil's Path and I can't wait to go back.

I went from couch to hiking this trail. I went up starting at 9 AM and didn’t get back down until 11 PM. I was so sore afterwards I couldn’t even step off a street curb for a week straight 😂. My shoulders were bruised from carrying the backpack for so long. Should have packed lighter. Glad I packed a flashlight for the last stretch though as I would have been stranded on the mountain without it since it was pitch black. I thought I was going to be down a lot earlier. It was all worth it in hindsight though and you get a great sense of accomplishment!

I took a cog train last year to the summit, and while the train was moving, I saw two hikers with their bluetooth speaker hanging and blasting trash music which all of us in the train can hear it. I would be seriously pissed if I was hiking and have to deal with them.

What length are you skiing here in relation to your height / weight? Thanks!

Thank you for the insights to this hike. As a regularly hiking Austrian coming to NY next week I'm looking forward!

Great video, thank you

TY 4 SHARING! I need to revisit a few things after watching your insight.

I received smith mag IO xl today, with spare lense, and found a tab on inside film, so removing the film wasnt a problem for me. Looks like its a issue with cheaper models or smith has updated the protective film situation...

The only people who should be playing a radio on the mountain are lifties!😡

i feel the+ snowboarders pain

My mom and myself hiked this 2 years ago and you don't realize how hard of a hike until you get to the third part.

Love all the detail you went into

Thanx. Excellent video. Very helpful for an old newbie.

Thank you for showing me how to re fold back into a pouch😅!!

Это лучший обзор на данный рюкзак во всем интернете. Спасибо тебе бро!

Great video. Here are my additions:: 2 Draw-string garbage bags (emergency jacket/pad/etc); Paracord (with loop & one end - for tourniquet, etc); Ace Bandage; Duct Tape (small amt wrapped around flat piece of plastic - 5 yds); Trowel (Alum); whistle; and, Tabasco sauce & $5 bill (there may be a taco stand). I always wear Long Pants - you may have to bush whack or if it is the desert, you need the protection. I use the lightweight Ex-Officios. 2 Phones - both with downloaded "Organic Maps" offline maps (has 99% of trails -free). I use my Android (no cell service) to take picts & navigate. My IPhone is in my bag and is only for backup or to communicate.

Great video. I am brand new to hiking (litterally my second outting today), and going to attempt at least part of this in a couple hours. I'm local on the other side of Dutchess County, I've passed thru the area a bunch and always been curious. Thanks for the helpful insight and tips.

Did you size up in this boot? I heard of people getting a size up because of the toe box.

Very helpful. I just set up my Wowona 6 by myself after watching your video. The video made it easy. Thank you.

When this is a powder day. By far best place to be....

It would appear that you set this up by yourself. True? I want a 6 man but will be going solo and will have no help with set up

I don't use my phone for navigation, so I cut my phone off so it won't keep roaming and using battery for no reason. And I carry extra battery. I good with compass and topo maps. I usually turn phone on if I stop and pretty sure I get signal. AND got tired of nice hike and junk mail phone calls.

This guy knows his stuff.
