I've been stopped at least 20 times on the Headwaters hike about where to go and I always inform them......then like 30 seconds into the convo, "Oh wait, you don't work here?"

The Ogio has back padding between the shovel/gear and your back.

Yeah, at places like Big Sky/Bridger it makes sense. I beep all day if skiing HW or off the summit which is basically every time we go skiing. You need gear for the couloir or snowfield. You don't...

Ogio Flak Jacket has to be the best vest ever made. Mine has like 15 years on it and still going strong. We should all email them until they start making them again. I have fondled many other vests...
