Replying to Ski Packs

+K for any stories or experience with ski PACKS. I'm an ADVANCED skier, who usually sticks to resorts. Lots of HIKING in and out of bounds, like revelstoke stuff. INVENTORY would include an avalanche shovel, probe, saw, goggle case, and an SLR with its case. PRICE RANGE ~$250 wondering what size (30L? 50L?) what brand (MEC? Black Diamond?) and if there are any pack out there with straps on the sides to slip my skis on my back, that would be ideal. Thanks
