can this be cinched down small enough for resort skiing? in other words do you think i could fit on a ski lift with this pack on with only some water, food and extra clothes inside?

I wouldn't recommend the 52 as a daypack - way too big.

I use this for everything from one day side-country trips, to multiday winter trips. It is definitely too big to use as a dedicated inbounds or even side country pack. But if you are only going to have one ski pack, this is a good one. Better to size up for long trips, then over stuff a 30L pack. Plus this pack cinches down real well.

You might be able to, but Osprey Packs actually makes a line of backpacks specific for 'snowplay.' I think the Kode 22 or 30 bags would be perfect for what you're looking for. Although backcountry.com does not offer these new packs at this time, you can find them for sale elsewhere online. In the meantime, check out the different models at Osprey's website: http://www.ospreypacks.com/Packs/KodeSeries/ Osprey makes great packs and you'll like yours, whatever you decide. Hope this helps!
