Introducing the Glide 27- or 32-Liter Ski Pack—a purpose-built backpack for skiers and backcountry explorers who want fast access, rugged durability, and clever organization. The Glide model of skiing/climbing backpacks are custom-designed and made exclusively for us; we are very proud to introduce them to our Couloir brand of Light Hiking Gear backpacks.

Key Features & Design

• Hydration-Ready Front-Loading Main Compartment (click to view images) — designed for quick access to your gear without slowing you down on the move.
• Top zip pouch includes: 1-liter soft felt inner pocket - perfect for sunglasses and goggles; 1/4-liter zip mesh pocket - keeps your valuables, lotions and creams within easy reach while in motion. Also contains a handy key clip for those end-of-day “where the heck are my car keys” moments.
• Mid zip pouch includes: In the 1-liter stretch mesh mid-pocket you’ll find the helmet holder with two hooks that make it easy to secure your helmet when you don’t need to have it on your head.
• Main Compartment includes: A feature not usually seen on other brands is the fully-opening lid, for full access to all your gear, whether your skis are strapped to the side or your snowboard is strapped to the front. Four zipper sliders make this opening convenient in any location, and if you’re down, you can open the compartment and use the lid as a bivi sit pad while you’re waiting for help.
• Inside you’ll find: 2 fabric pockets on inner lid for valuables, goggles, lotions, etc.; 2 vertical fabric shove-in gear pockets (2" diameter x 12" length) for holding avalanche probes, avalanche equipment, and for climbing skins; 2 zip stretchy mesh pockets on each wing to conveniently hold small things where you can easily locate them; also a pocket that will hold a small snow shovel, and another pocket for its handle.
• Upper and lower tie down straps to hold any loose items into the back of the pack so that gear will stay firmly in place, eliminating load-shifting as you traverse the slopes.
• Reinforced areas to prevent abrasion, helmet-carry systems, and compatibility with back protection systems for added safety.

Designed for the backcountry athlete, the Glide Ski Pack supports both skiing and climbing workflows with thoughtful pockets and securing options. It’s built to keep gear organized, accessible, and secure—from avalanche probes and climbing skins to a shovel and delicate goggles—without slowing you down on the approach or the descent.
