Im in the market for a backpack that can carry my skis. Never had one before so i don't know shit about em. Do any carry skis, boots and have a camel bak pouch? boots and camel bak aren't necessities but skis for sure. Id like the skis to be carried comfortably, not awkward. Im looking to spend less than $100. Please post any you have for sale, any ones you recommend, or any for sale online. thanks -Grey

Dakine Heli Pro, Heli Pro 20L, Heli Pro 2

All great ski and snowboard BC packs. I know for sure at least he Heli Pro 2 has accomdations for a camel pack, but they are all great and do everything you'd need.

$60-$120ish, depending on size.

the dakine heli pros are very nice skiing packs, i use mine all the time, it can carry skis and have a camelback pouch, they dont have a specific feature for carrying boots but there is an excessive amount of straps that you could easily  strap some boots on.

I have a dakine vertex, basically the same as the heli pro, but they dont make it anymore.

I've had the thing for like 5 years, and it's still going strong. The only problemis some asshole cut one of the straps a little bit, but it doesnt make much of a difference.

I'll be getting another dakine in 10 years when this one is finally broken in.
