Been wanting a "frame pack" found this one at Cal Ranch store, $75 USD. Very sturdy, can't wait to rig it out. I've got a 65 L dry bag to use for a main compartment.

Got the three piece snow shovel for $17 USD. Say this a year or two ago and went back for it, by my second trip, sold out! This time I could choose between red, org or blu. Got the red. I will strap it to the outside frame.

And a nice pair of Smartwool Hikers.

Getting ready to summit a 12,600' in mid Jan so the shovel might be nice for camp site prep.

It just got 12" fresh powder this weekend. Who knows by Jan?

Snowshoes also on the list, but may rent.

OC pics pls, I get tiered of posres using stock internet photos.
