If it came down to this or the Switch 36, I'd take the Switch. It's design is more specific to backcountry ski use with separate pockets for avie gear, wet gear, etc. Also the Switch has more dedicated ski and board straps for easier carrying. Since you said that you're taller, also check into the Gregory Targhee. It's a little longer than a Switch and has a great form fitting back panel as well as all the other features crucial to a backcountry ski pack.http://www.backcountry.com/store/GRE0047/Gregory-Targhee-Backpack-1900-2200cu-in.html
