Let’s see your Ski Season / Winter setup

Snow is falling in the Rockies and the Sierras, and it has me getting ready to hit the slopes soon. How do others carry around their equipment in the back? Looking for ideas of my own for organizing hard goods (skis, boots, crampons, ice picks, etc), soft goods (jackets, gloves, helmet, etc) and wanted to see what others were doing.

Do you have a ski rack / roof box? I’m thinking of doing one or the other.

I’m planning on taking the mattress out and replacing the camping gear on my bottom level with a drawer for for wet/snowy equipment, and keeping the jackets etc up top in a bin.

 

So far?

 

Did someone say skiing? I'm ready! I always start the season on a set of retro's. Hmmm which ones will be this year
The yellow and pink Atomics are reserved for 80's day

 

This year? USGIs with universal cable bindings.

 

How did you mount the skis to the side of the bed? I’m trying to figure out a good way to keep them from sliding around in the back.

 

MOLLE and straps. Might not work with longer skis, tbh - my 145cm ones are right at the edge of the 5' bed.

 

Yeah that won’t work for my 186s . Love that setup though!

 

Maybe drill some holes if you have a shell? Or you know, rack mounts.

 

Ahhhhh, those 7S bring back some fond memories of my candidate year on ski patrol.

 

Nice. Yeah they like to go fast

 

Yeah it's gonna be pure backwoods, no lift / no patrol skiing this year as far as I can tell. So XCd gear.

 

Where is this you speak of that won't be open?

 

Everyone will be open.. I hope. :glances around:

I still like off piste better even if the lodges are there. I'm kinda a xcd weirdo though.

 

Truck becomes the commuter for work.

Mobile ski chalet comes out for ski season!

 

Fitting my 193 pow sticks in my short bed is a nightmare......

 

I was a patroller too at one point! Nice to hear other NSPers are on here.

Off-piste is going to be the way to go this season I think. I can’t imagine, even with the mountains opening under COVID restrictions, that there will be a full resort season.

 

Here is my winter setup.

 

Here’s my quiver. If you can’t tell, I have a preference for a certain Colorado based brand... I couldn’t pass up the Bent Chetlers though, they’re mega in the deep stuff.

 

I just keep em in a bag in the bed, boots and everything else in the cab

 

Someone was a racer
