Here in Washington, they've just made ducking ropes a misdemeanor. So, if you want to avoid a thousand dollar fine and a year in jail, don't poach ropes; strap on the DaKine Poacher Backpack and take on the real backcountry. With two different ski carry systems, a snowboard carry, a 45 liter capacity and both top load and back panel entry, the Poacher lets you access the best of the goods without getting chased by the boys in red.
