Sorry, but contrary to Tyler's answer this bag DEFINITELY DOES have ski and snowboard carry built in. Ski carry is diagonal, with a retractable wire loop at the lower right corner of the pack and a clip strap at the top left. While it's not the best carry system out there, it works fine for short hikes and fits fat skis without any issues. For touring I would recommend a bigger pack with internal support and 'A-frame' carry capability. As for your size question, I would recommend the 16L.

For your size you would want the 16... This bag is just a bag, it's meant to carry extra items, it DOES NOT have a ski/board carrying system built in to it... It was designed to carry the essentials on a day of heli/snowcat skiing/boarding.... It's not meant for hiking with skis/board on your back
