Osprey Packs Switch 14 - 900 cu in
The Osprey Switch 14 is your most reliable companion for lift-served powder hunting. Small enough it won't knock you off the chair, but big and tech enough to hold safety gear and skis, the Switch 14 will never wimp out on you. Hypalon reinforced ski straps and snowboard wings won't get eaten away by edges when you're heading up to Spanky's ladder, or your local off-piste stash. Whether you're walking, riding or skiing, the molded backpanel won't try to rearrange your vertebrae. The Switch 14's hydration sleeve has a separate external access so you can refill without spilling dirty socks and shovel parts on the floor. The Switch 14 comes with a basic fabric hipbelt with a pocket. An extra-cushy custom sized hipbelt is available.
$98.95 
Finally the right size for the slopes
After sleeping all over mountains east and west as the family pack mule, I finally have a pack that gets the job done. There is plenty of room for a day on the slopes with Mom and the kids. They snickered at the hydration bladder I loaded up, but funny thing is everyone who rode the lift with me wanted a sip! Quality construction and well designed.

Training Tips
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.
One of the most mentally toughening things you can do as a runner who trains daily is to add a morning run into your routine. This means you are doing two runs a day. The morning run is simply more of a mental challenge then anything else.
Have two pairs of running shoes, especially if you live in a wet climate. Consider replacing your shoes no later than 500 miles into the life of the shoes.
