The Mutant can certainly handle ski carry. There is always a concern about burred ski edges causing some damage to any pack material they come in contact with. Having said that, the 420 denier packcloth that comprise the side panels and the 100 denier lower side pockets should provide plenty of protection given a modicum of care. Osprey's Variant 37 is very similar to the Mutant but with shovel slot on the outside and a very lightweight aluminum frame that may slightly improve the carry with that extra 15+ pounds of long levers pulling on you in the wind. Just a thought. Either way, I think you'll be very happy with how the packs carry with skis or without.

Yes, but keep in mind that because its not designed specifically for that, you may seem some premature ware on the sides dues to the sharp ski edges.
