This is called a fiberglass PLUG—or the last step before we go into full production on the 71ss.

The 71ss is built to fit on Subaru’s, smaller SUV and Cross-Over models, Sport Wagons, etc.

The excitement is building and we have a growing pre-order list. Awesome!

See you on the Mountain tomorrow! (MT Bachelor)

Please come visit us at Mt Bachelor this Saturday and Sunday for Nevado’s Demo Days. The whole mountain will be crawling with the coolest new gear available and you’re invited to the party!

Where: Mt Bachelor

When: Saturday and Sunday, February 4 & 5, 2012

What: Nevado Demo Days and SKIING

Why: Do you really need a reason? More than fresh powder, sunshine and hot new gear?

We’ll be looking for you! Meanwhile, follow us on Twitter: Packasport  — fun deals, games and up to date info (especially on that 71ss!!!)

Plan on seeing the System 71ss hit the roads in March. Pre-Order yours today by calling: 1-800-359-9870. The list is growing, so make sure your name is ON it!

And we love to give gifts.

So here’s our Winter 2011 Contest:

Send us your funniest/most iconic 1980′s ski photo–whether you are on the mountain or in the parking lot getting ready to go, if it includes a neon full-body suit we want to see it. (In fact, if it is a 1992 hot pink Columbia zip-up, you automatically win, decade be damned)

From the entries received, one will be chosen as the winner and sent a nifty winter gift, plus be named our official 2011-12 Packasport Ski Season Inspiration. That’s something to brag about!

Post photos on our Facebook site or send them in via this blog— Can’t wait to see your posts!

Deadline is January 1, 2012. Winner announced/notified thereafter.

Packasport was INVENTED for this sport. True story. Way back in the day, Grandpa Ron had three kids on the race team and a mountain of equipment to get to Mt. Bachelor every Saturday morning. The answer? Gear goes on top of the ol’ Suburban.

Of course, when you’ve invested in three kids’ ski careers, you don’t just bungee down thousands of dollars of good equipment on the roof rack.

There had to be a better answer.

And a better answer for a family of skiers DOES NOT include a plastic box. Plastic boxes are by nature flimsy and distressed in rough weather.

Packasport was born out of necessity.

A aerodynamically designed fiberglass box with marine-grade hardware and a carpeted bedliner. This is what your ski equipment was MEANT to go in.

You spend thousands upon thousands  of dollars investing in quality ski gear. Don’t throw away your investment with an inferior box.

GEAR UP this ski season with Packasport!

11/22/11: Mt Bachelor: 29″ base with 1″ in the past 24 hours. Coming down hard!!!

A work of artistry

Packasports are made by hand in the USA.

We take great pride in the fact that we still build the best cargo carrier on the market, and we do it from our home headquarters in Oregon.

Built with the same fine craftsmanship that goes into creating custom fiberglass boat hulls, Packasports are far and above the competition.

System 71ss is still in pre-production, but will be unveiled soon!

See us at your local mountain this winter at the Nevado booth during Demo Days. We’ll be all across the country. Come say hi! And, if you do, get a coupon code for a free gift with your purchase of a Packasport.

Find Nevado online: www.nevado.com — and visit their booths at ski shows across the country to demo the coolest new stuff on the market!

This weekend, November 4-6, find Nevado at the Portland Expo Center for Ski Fever (www.skifever.org).

Packasport will be joining the tour in a few weeks and we hope to see our hometown crew this February at our very own Mt. Bachelor.

Here’s to a great Ski Season!

What does a tent, a camp stove, four sleeping bags and an hour of ghost stories have to do with Packasport?

Easy. They all fit in our System 115. The Big Daddy.

So this Halloween, pack up your friends and head into the woods for some real scary fun.
