Some backcountry missions don't require a full touring pack for those quick, out-of-the-gate, powder-seeking missions or heli-assist days, so the Dakine Heli Pro 20L Backpack is a solid choice. The pack's compact design carries a shovel, probe, and extra layer, while straps along the front of the pack carries a board or pair of skis for the bootpack. Throw a hydration reservoir in the internal sleeve to stay hydrated on the skintrack or for closing day at the resort.
