Skiing Backpack?

Hi all, I'm going on my first ski trip with NUIG this January, I'm looking for a backpack to take with me. Will a normal backpack that I would take to college do the trick?

Hi all,

I'm going on my first ski trip with NUIG this January, I'm looking for a backpack to take with me. Will a normal backpack that I would take to college do the trick?

Have spoke to 2 friends who gone skiing before.
One says it will be fine, the other says to get one with a buckle across the chest as otherwise the bag will fall off. Is this truly the case?

Thanks for all help.

Yeh you'll need something across the chest definitely, will annoy you the whole time otherwise.

It's your first trip so a normal backpack will suffice.

I use one of these.

https://www.absolute-snow.co.uk/V/Dakine_Heli_Pack_Ski_Snowboard_Backpack_12L_Phoenix-(108532)

Large enough to carry essentials (inc. camelpak) but small enough to not be obstructive.

It has chest buckle but I never use it.

Hope that helps.
