I have two one is on ebay and the other I will try selling in these various forums. What am I doing with two. Well one is my wifes, my mother in-law bought us these packs but one has never been worn and I used the other a couple times checking the weather alone Cat ski guiding

 

This pack was purchased for me by my mother in-law. (who would have thunk it.) I am a proffessional mountain guide in Canada so know the value of these from a safety aspect. This pack has only been used once and comes with an extra air cartridge. No matter if your just starting out or a vetran this pack can add a real piece of mind i the backcountry. Your wife/husband will love it also.

(when asked why I was selling)

I am trying to raise money foe a new hd video camera is the main reason. The other is that I do not ski guide anymore or I would think about hanging on to it. I do find it a bit heavy but I am someone who spends $1500. to shave a few ounces out of my heliski pack. I am a light freak. Besides mommy in-law baought the thing so it is money found. Mow if it was a full body balloon the enveloped me while ice climbing that would be another story:)
