I'm looking for a new backpack that can carry skis, but I want something new other than dakine. What are some good ones?

My freind has a pretty nice Columbia one. Not sure what it's called, but he likes it a lot.

I know you said no dakine, but I have a dakine chute pack and it's fantastic. I haven't used it yet, but I had a poacher, which is essentially the same pack just bigger. I was looking for something a bit lower profile, so I sold my poacher, bought the chute, and couldn't be happier. It's got both a frame and diagonal carry, more pockets than you could want, but can be cinched down to be very small. Again, it's just a pack, but it's dope as hell, and I'd reccommend it for sure.

SO MUCH THIS!

I have an Osprey Atmos 65 for backpacking.
Most comfortable, light weight, and functional pack I have ever used.
Let me say, innovation doesn't come cheap though. They are a bit pricier.
