Packing minimally while carrying everything you require is an essential skill for ski-touring, yet many find it to be a mystery they never seem able to solve. ACMG/IFMGA guide Colin Zacharias has spent decades ski-guiding and perfecting the art of packing light. In this instructional video, Zacharias shows you what to bring and how to organize it so you can be efficient, light, and fast in the backcountry.
We have a favor to ask of our backcountry community. Powder Cloud believes our educational content and journalism should be easily accessible to all backcountry riders. A majority of our content is free, and we strive to limit annoying distractions like blinking ads, paywalls and pop-up screens.
We need your support to sustain the work we and our contributors provide, and to help us develop new and exciting ways to educate our community.
With as little as $5, you can help our mission—to provide backcountry skiers and riders the mentorship they require to travel safely and find the happiness. It only takes a minute and we’re so grateful and appreciate you.
