Sorry, Angus, allow me to clarify my question:

Would anyone who has skied with THIS pack care to comment on its performance, when used for skiing?

I've skied with other BD packs of similar size and construction, and they've been fantastic, so this one should be just as good. Also, if you look at the page, you can see that Chris Davenport and Renan Ozturk both love it. I'm not sure if you know who these two people are, but rest assured that they have beaten the bejesus out of every piece of gear they use. If they like the pack, it's a good pack.
