There are many reasons to choose a SkiPulk for your winter travel needs. Here are a few examples:
|
1. Great gear sled for mountaineering. The rugged, dependable system, including flexible poles, allows the sled to track behind the user making travel more convenient.
2. Ideal for winter camping. SkiPulks allow you to bring the extra gear needed for more comfortable camping in the winter.
3. Perfect for hut to hut or yurt to yurt ski systems.
4. Great for bringing in supplies to your snow bound cabin. Pulling gear behind you in a pulk system takes the load off your back!
5. Excellent equipment sled for scouting winter jamborees. |

You may come across web postings about how pulks are a pain. From our experience it is because the user has a bad pulk design or has opted for a short pulk which they then overload and make top heavy.
There are a few occasions, however, when pulks are less desireable than packs. These are:
1. When you will encounter several unfrozen stream crossings.
2. On exposed rocky ridge lines.
3. When the conditions are too warm with very long sections of no snow.
4. When skiing through a recent tornado blow down.
These conditions are difficult when not properly equipped...
5. When you are on severe sidehill without fins.
6. When attempting steep climbs with a heavy load and no skins.
Thats about it. Really!! Pulks rock! |
