Proper planning, access to essential avalanche safety equipment, and a well-designed technical backpack are crucial for successful and safe backcountry excursions. The women's-specific Sopris 40, our largest technical backcountry ski pack, offers versatile carrying options for both skis and snowboards.

Crafted with top-end materials, the Sopris 40 is designed to be as lightweight as possible, while providing a stable and dynamic fit for demanding descents. The front panel pocket allows easy access to your avalanche safety kit, including shovel and probe sleeves, while the top and back panel offer two convenient entry points to the dry main storage compartment.

To protect against the elements, the pack features a PFC-free DWR coating that effectively sheds moisture. The large front panel J-zip access provides quick and easy access to the avalanche safety kit pocket, ensuring you can quickly grab your essential safety gear when needed.

The Sopris 40 offers multiple options for accessing the main compartment, with both top-load and back panel access points. Side panel sleeves and a zippered stash pocket provide additional storage solutions for your climbing gear and other essentials. A single-zippered hipbelt pocket and a single hipbelt gear loop help keep important items close at hand.

The pack's versatility extends to its carrying capabilities, with both A-frame and diagonal ski carry options, as well as vertical front panel or horizontal snowboard carry configurations. For added convenience, the pack includes internal webbing attachment points for a GPS or radio, allowing you to securely transport your communication devices.

An under-lid adjustable rope compression strap ensures your climbing rope is stored safely and easily accessible. The removable top lid, complete with two zippered pockets, can be replaced with a FlapJacket cover to keep the pack contents contained even when the lid is removed.

In summary, the Sopris 40 is a comprehensive and well-designed technical backcountry ski pack that prioritizes safety, versatility, and ease of access. Its thoughtful features and high-quality construction make it an essential companion for adventurous days in the backcountry.
