Water on the hill when packs are not allowed on lifts

[Napyhed]

My luck, I'd put a hole in it somewhere!!

Right!? Hop on the lift and PFFFFSHHHHHHHHH beer geyser

While this is a great idea, you have to make sure the straw is insulated or it will freeze. I have a larger fanny style pack and I put a collapsible bottle in there which works.

I think this depends on the temps you ski in - I seem to be okay down to -10°C with soft flasks if the straw is completely tucked into the jacket aside from when I'm drinking from it. But at that point I would often have warmish water in it to start with as I don't see any sense in having my water cool me down.

Apologies if this has been discussed I could not find it.

Last season they no longer allow packs on the hill. This is an issue for me because I get dehydrated and don’t like to stop and go to the lodge or my car.
Hard bottles are not safe and hard to stash. I have a collapsible bottle coming today.
Does anyone have ideas to hydrate on the hill without the option of a pack? (Or direct me to a thread if this topic has already been worn out)
TIA

I often carry a Hydrapak that fits nicely in my interior pocket of my jacket.
I also used to have a Camelback that was really low profile and fit nicely under my jacket so it wouldn't be an issue with a resort that doesn't allow packs.


This is a smaller one.

This one has a straw so you can sip it without taking it out of your jacket pocket.

Thanks for the links I will give both a try. I went through all my packs with bladders and they are obvious under the jacket . I do like the ability to drink from a straw on my way up, less things to pull out, put back zip up etc.

One of the things I like about Hydrapak over camelback for the larger size is that it doesn't have a large hard piece/cap as a closure. It rolls down from the top and has a slide to seal it.

The smaller one does have a cap but it's small and doesn't get in the way for me.
I prefer the small one but then I live at elevation and don't have a ton of issues with hydration.

Yesss!!! I got an Osprey last season just before they banned packs. It opens completely on one end and folds over with a slide clamp. Sounds similar to this one.

Would definitely recommend you try on a run vest then!

will do. Thank you!

I have this Nathan running vest but haven't thought of bringing it skiing. Seems like everything would fit under your jacket, including the straw, so less likely to freeze?

The part of the straw that comes out does freeze. I think they make an insulating sleeve for it though.
