Dakine heli pro pack is a fucking good backpack.  I got one and it works for EVERYTHING!

If your going for a backcountry experience, get something with Avalung in it. I just took an avy course, and they say it doubles your average time of survival in a burial (15 mins to 30 mins).

The Heli pro is bomber they have huge gauge zippers that don't split or get fucked up. Only problem is it can be tough to get wider skis through the ski holder (unless they have made the loop bigger since I got one)   On a side note, I used to be a lifty and have to tell people to strap up their packs or carry them on their chests because so many people would get the fucking buckles snagged on the chair and get swung around the bull wheel hung up by their pack...

heli pack pro 2 is not the most lift compatible.   I always have to take it off, unless i sit kinda sideways.

6 years on a heli pro and its still going strong. I prefer the older style and it was slightly more stream lined and less likely to get caught up on everything.
