Was wondering about snowboarding/skiing with the Reo.

So me and my GF are panning to be going boarding on Saturday. I know in past experiences with carto tanks on different mods going up on the lifts would flood the carto and on the run down it would dry it out (I'm guessing fast elevation change.) I was wondering with reos being bottom fed mods what happens on your skiing runs? Does it do the same and self feed into the RM2 and suck back down on the run? I know you could get around this by just taking a bottle of juice and leaving the one on the reo empty. I'm just curious as to what happens. (By the way, my reo didn't get here yesterday. It will be here today and i'll have pictures up. I don't think i'll take it with me this Saturday as I don't want to lose it lol!)

I ski all the time with my Reo's. They will auto-squonk on the drive up the mountain. The difference in air pressure in the bottle vs surrounding air cause it. Now I just take an empty bottle and put that in when I am starting to go up in elevation above around 3500' or so. When I get to the parking lot, I reattach the bottle with juice and am good to go. Doesn't seem to work in reverse as I never have leakage driving down. Pic below was taken in Brianhead UT a couple months ago.

Well I ski in NY and PA mostly ....... so if we get a whopping 900 feet of elevation change were living the good life :D

Never noticed it feeding or the opposite going up or down .... Even on a few VT trips.

Until this season I always put a carto on for skiing ...... if its too cold my 100%VG juice just won't squonk so a kept the carto full and could vape off that for a while.

This year I gave up and started taking my Chalice RBA (on a woodvil) skiing and never had a leak .... even after my 50 mph face plant with a total yard sale on Xmas eve ..... First thing I did was wipe the blood off my face .... Second thing pull the gloves and check the REO pocket ..... I was giving it a vape before my friends got to me.

Lol! That's crazy, 900 feet elevation?! We have 3000 feet of vertical. Takes a good 15 minutes of hauling ayuss to get to the bottom (well, and maybe some goofing off with 360's and rails.) That's too funny about the yard sale. Those suck more than Monica Lewinsky.
Worst one I had was the board slid out from under me and I landed right on my ..... Well, at the speed I was going and how I hit it spread my cheeks apart and the feeling was one I do not want to repeat, ever, so now I try to land on my face.
