Dakine Pro II Pack
Outstanding pack for both cruising around local resorts or for day trips into the backcountry. Holds all essentials with no problems and the tool pockets make this pack the ultimate backcountry skier/boarders choice.
Dakine Pro II Backpack
The pack is great. I use it for snowmobiling in the deep. The shovel is out of the way and you don't even know your wearing it.
Comfortable pack
Great pack! I use it for snowmobiling in the backcountry. Excellent for day trips. I don't even know it's on my back.
Great Winter Pack
I have taken this pack in the backcountry and on the chairlifts. It is super functional, practically sized and carries skis comfortably when necessary. It has great features for snowboards. Not as complicated as other packs and priced right.
Awesome
I am able to hold my shovel and my hydration system in this pack. I can also hold food and extra clothing. Great for backcountry trips with an easy-to-use ski carry system.

Training Tips
Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
An efficient long distance running stride will have you landing on your heal first and rolling to the front of your toes.
