<p>I am getting back country skis and was thinking of doing some trips where the hike up is too steep to do on skis. I was wondering what are some good ways of attaching skis to a backpack. I came across <a href="http://amountainjourney.com/carry-skis-backpack/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a> but most of their suggested methods assume going through clear (unwooded) terrain, hence the dominance of the horizontal approach. But it for hiking through woods, vertical might be more convenient as long as it doesn't obstruct leg motion. I also found the below backpack that seems like the ties are positioned to support a vertical carry:</p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uckZcm.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/uckZcm.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <p>I am looking for suggestions on what some of the options for carrying skis conveniently are, especially uphill and through thickly wooded areas.</p>
