To answer your question, yes it can carry skis. I carried skis for several miles with a full load using the side straps. I just put one ski on each side vertically. Worked great and didn't damage the pack.

this Arc'teryx Khamsin 50 pack is great for year-round use, including backcountry skiing! the fabric under the side straps is durable and will be fine to carry skis. you can also use the front straps for a vertical carry, and the flaps will help stabilize them. You can even rig your own straps to the anchor points for axes, and do a diagonal carry.

I wouldnt recommend this to carry skis. It would proabably be better to get one that has the ski straps just because you dont want to tear your pack up and be stranded
