Do you use a hydration pack when skiing?

I have tried on a few occasions but mine always freezes up. I'm sure it would help if it were insulated, but it's just a standard Camelbak bladder that I put in my Dakine heli-pack. Anyone use a hydration pack successfully and comfortably while skiing? If so, which brand/style did you use?

I don't have a hydration back but I really want to get one.
Hopefuly one that will work!

I don't use one on the east, but find it essential out west! I use a camelback with minimal storage capacity which is made for sub freezing temps. I have had the same problems of freezing fluid line in cold weather with the standard camelback. Look for the one that is specifically made for colder temps with a neoprene cover on the fluid line and a place to zip up the line on the shoulder strap. Sorry, I can't remember the model name.

I don't use one for skiing, but I do for hiking and biking. To be honest, it's just not something I want to be burdened with. And in Vermont, it'd probably just freeze up, anyway,

I only used a camelback once. It froze, got caught on the cahir lift, and then leaked and made my back wet. when I am thirsty, I go in.

If you're an east coaster or lowlander who goes to altitude, you won't believe the thirst!! I drink a minimun of 1.5 gallon/day when out west.
I leave the camelback at home otherwise.
