What about ski attachment? It looks like there's a non-adjustable strap on the bottom. Can a ski tail be slid through that for A-frame attachment of skis? Are there any other methods of ski attachement?

The Mission doesn't have any ski carry options and the side compression straps aren't meant to hold skis. You may be able to rig something up, but I wouldn't recommend it due to the wear and tear those compression straps would see over time. There are lots of packs out there that have specific ski carry systems and I think you would be a lot happier with a pack that is designed to carry skis. Take a look into the BD snow series, the Gregory Targhee and Arc'Teryx Silo (just to name a few ski specific packs).
