Hey i've been looking for a daypack to ski with. i have no clue what to look for and would like some recommendations. I ski in upstate new york at bristol, but i also go to vermont once or twice a year, so i need like a medium sized pack. A wide-scale of color options would be nice, but i just need a good pack. Thanks guys.

I would highly suggest checking out osprey packs, they are higher quality then dakine and tnf, have a no questions asked lifetime warranty, and sit on the back (at least the ones i've tried) great.

Yeah thats pretty much my idea here, i've been doin some more research and am torn between the BBW (yes thats the name) and the line remote pack, dakine is 5 liters larger at 20 liters. I have a black spyder jacket, a blue bonfire jacket, black snowpants for both, black and yellow boots, armada 2012 arv skis (orange, blue, green), black helmet, and white zeal goggles. Which in your guys' opinion would work best with my setup and what are the key differences between the two.

Very happy with my Dakine Heli Pro DLX. It's comfortable to carry and has a waist strap and a chest strap.

BCA Stash packs might be your ticket. They really make bomber gear.

Here's the Stash OB, the smallest one
