Hitting Kickers

Put your hand up if you like a little drink on the hill every now and then?

Its been known amongst my usual snowboarding group to bring out a hip flask full of Laphroaig, and dish out hits everytime someone stacks it hard or anytime someone stomped a run or kicker.

Cheers!

Only problem is the ole hip flask can cause murder on your ribs from your chest pocket if you fall awkardly. Here’s a genious solution…

From gizmodo.com

The Flask Pack is a little neoprene case that’ll hold your flask and keep it snug up against the back of your snowboard’s bindings, allowing you to have a little nip in between increasingly erratic carves. Just look out for trees, bro.

Product listing page at tactics.com:

A stainless steel flask fits snugly in the Hi-Back Pack Advanced to make a perfect combo that is the Flask Pack. Get an extra swig on to keep yourself warm on the lift or to keep you sane on “family fun day” at the mountain.

If only they shipped to the UK I’d be ordering up some Christmas snowboarding gifts right now.
