Will this pack carry a fat powder ski? I have the Volkl Kuro's that are 132mm underfoot. Will they fit on the side on the pack in the A-frame style?
Thanks in advance!

I know they are somewhat heavy, but not that bad. I've done some decent bootpack hikes with them on a different pack I have now in a A-frame position and had no problem with weight. Thanks for the answer! Look forward to using my Kuro's with either this or more likely the Silo 30, assuming they will fit on the 30 also.

I'm sure it will work, but I would reassess carrying those anchors on your back. Are you going to be walking through powder to get your turns? That will be very difficult. If you're walking on hard snow, why would you be riding Kuros? If you're slowshoeing, why not just get some skins and AT Binders? It is not fun to tour with heavy skis on your pack, and will cause back pain and lots of frustration. If you have other plans in mind, then go for it! You'll be able to get those Kuros on there, A frame style. Enjoy!
