Snowmule 25 Liter 2017 Ski Backpack

I rarely review things on Amazon, but I asked for and received this backpack for Christmas this year. My husband and I used it at Mt. Brighton in Michigan. Our daughter skis without poles and often gets stuck on inclines or long flat areas. Either my husband or I are forced to hand back one of our poles and drag her with us. It's exhausting. The tow rope feature alone on this makes it worth every penny. He easily pulled our 50 lb daughter. The tow ropes retract easily and the pack was plenty big enough to store extra gloves, warmers, cell phones, etc. One drawback was that you have to be careful when getting onto the ski lift - my husband was wearing this and one of the straps caught the lift chair and stayed with the chair as he exited. We get lots of looks at the ski hill - mostly envious parents who wish they had one!
