Your family loves hitting the slopes, but when little ones struggle with their gear, it can stress out the whole gang. As avid skiers, the Gacnik and Peterson family have been there—and their kids came up with the solution. They created this lightweight nylon backpack with a reinforced opening on the bottom that allows skis and poles to slide in and stay put.

Thanks to the easy-to-adjust shoulder straps, even toddlers as young as three can comfortably carry their own equipment while keeping their mitts free to munch a cookie or hold a grown-up's hand—and the pack makes it way easier to pick up a tired tot and their stuff. When you get to the lift, the bag folds down small enough to fit in a pocket. Schussing without fussing? Let. It. Snow. Made in Colorado.
