Does anyone here know of any good backs I could get all my gear up to the mountain with? Looking for something nice under 75. I just need something thats durable and can hold alot.

Thanks,
Will

Dakine makes a good photo pack. I'm going to sell my Burton Zoom 28L Black/red back soon if you are interested. I just picked up a FStop Loka which is pretty much the top end for ski bags.

i just picked up the dakine sequence. I've read some pretty good reviews, plus it has a laptop sleeve which is pretty nice. I paid about 145 for it though, just ordered it today so i'll let you know what I think when it gets here

I personally don't like Dakine camera bags. I've found them to be very mediocre; the ones that do work don't hold anything more than basic camera gear.

Dedicated camera bags are a pain in the ass for skiing. Your best bet is to get a good BC pack and buy an F:stop ICU. That way you have room for food/water/shovel/probes/beacon/etc., and you have a cube designated for your camera.

I found a sick REI bag that has hydrophobic zippers, top and back entry (this is essential for camera gear), and tons of support straps. Only $90! Add an ICU and the total cost is around $150.
