I'm new to the world of back country skiing, and am looking for a pack that I can use to carry skis and boots. Does the BD Alias provide that ability? Or is the usual assumption in back country skiing, that you wear your ski boots on your snow shoes or whatever...Thanks for the thoughts

This really is not a super big bag, 30L. So you don't have much room after the ski boots for any other gear. Plus, I don't know how well it would even hod up to that in it. But the general idea of backcountry is you have touring bindings on your skis, which allow you to release your heel, and walk uphill with skins on your skis, a lot like snowshoes but longer. Lock them down again for the ride down.
