I've tried this pack on before and it is very comfortable. I'm looking for a pack to go to Shasta with. We'll just be going for 2 nights and 3 days. We'll also be skiing so I'll have to carry my ski equipment along with a sleeping bag, tent, food, extra clothes, ect. Do you think the Ariel 55 would be big enough for the trip or should I go with the Ariel 65?

It really depends on the gear you are using. Is your gear compact, or does it tend to be more bulky? Also, are you using winter gear, like cold weather sleeping bags, 4 season tent, etc.? I tend to be a minimalist, and my gear is very compact. I can use a 55 liter pack for a 2 night 3 day trip in Spring-Fall, but need a larger pack with winter gear. That dosen't even take into consideration your ski gear. I would take the 65 liter pack. It is always better to have too much room than too little. The pack can always be compressed smaller.
