Pre-order only — once the first 400 are claimed, it's gone for good.
The ASCNT V1 is our front-carry chest pack built specifically for the resort. It's not adapted from hiking gear, not borrowed from another sport. It's built by skiers and boarders for skiers and boarders. We've got a pocket for anything and everything you might need on the mountain. All that and it fits over your jacket, staying snug while you're shredding and low profile + comfy on the lift ride back up.
Three steps. Zero dollars today.
Place your pre-order and claim one of the 400 numbered first-run packs. Nothing is charged when you order.
Every first-run ASCNT gets its unique number printed on the front. Yours is 1 of 1, forever.
Your card is only charged when your pack ships. Cancel anytime before that, and returns are 30 days, no questions.
Hear about new CHAIR1 packs and deals before the rest of the mountain does.
No spam. Only the emails that matter.
Every other backpack puts the weight on your back. We moved it to the front and balanced it out. Nothing digging into the chair, nothing behind you, nothing you can't reach from the lift.
Every pocket designed for something specific.
A secure zip pocket for your phone and a holster for a water bottle or radio. Easy access to what you reach for most. No more digging.
The waist pouch opens wide with room for whatever you need on the mountain. Sandwich, sunscreen, wallet, keys, whatever. Room for it all.
A magnetic clip for your hose and an insulated pocket over your shoulder means your water is easy to reach and actually stays liquid.
The storage sits flat and stays organized, so you skip the locker, the car trip, and the lodge line.
You've got room for an extra layer, spare gloves, the goggles you swapped at lunch. All of it out of the way until you want it.
Four adjustable buckles lock the pack to your body and center the weight at your core. So it won't bounce or shift when you're shredding. Plus, it fits over a shell or a puffy.
The bottom pocket opens to reveal lash straps to secure your additional gear. Cinch down your extra layer or poles knowing it's not going anywhere.
Four buckles lock the pack to your body and center the weight at your core. It doesn't bounce in bumps and it doesn't shift when you point it. Fits over a shell or a puffy.
Designed in Fort Collins and tested by the three of us, all season, in everything. because we're tired of gear that quits. Recycled main body and liner because we like the places we ski. If it's not good enough for our mountain, it's not good enough for yours.
The small stuff, done on purpose.

Mountain life is super gear-heavy, but some things are truly game changers. The Ascent pack is one of them. Ski parents already have their hands full all day, this pack makes gear/snack access a BREEZE. It also allows you to safely ride the lifts without lingering fear of the tangled strap or having to take a pack off while loading. This pack is amazing. Well built, well thought out, 5 stars.

This back pack is so awesome!! I honestly never expected it to hold and have so much space in it and I like to be prepared for anything while I'm out on the mountain. Looks awesome, super comfortable too.

I love this pack for trail running! Easy to access the important things quickly and stays tight to keep it from flopping around. Very comfortable too!

This is an awesome product and concept! The materials and manufacturing are honestly second to none! I purchased this at a local retailer and plan to use it all ski season, snow shoeing and will use it in some hunting scenarios for elk and grouse here when applicable. The ability to have access to front pockets while being slim enough to get through terrain is awesome!

I’m not a skier, but I’ve found this bag has a lot of potential beyond the slopes. It’s roomy, has plenty of pockets, and combines a backpack + chest pack into one adjustable system. I especially like the phone pocket with clear window—the video quality through it genuinely surprised me. Great for hiking, camp exploring, bike rides & more. Can’t wait to see how many ways I can kit it out!
