I have the pack, I spoke to BCA, it is a vertical ski carry. All the morons who said otherwise best check themselves!

The ski carry for the Float 36 is vertical but can be rigged as a diagonal ski carry by orienting the skis in the top compression strap to one side by using any type of ski strap, such as a velcro or voile.

Just got a float 30 and spoke to BCA it is definately a diagonal carry. I was specific about this as I can't stand vertical carry constantly hitting the heels of my boots. Great pack though a little heavy but looking at all on the market they all are! Great shovel pocket and separate probe pocket too.

vertical carry, but you can make it sort of diagonal by routing the upper horizontal strap through the vertical one and putting the skis to one side of the vertical strap. (not sure if that made sense).

The video on the BCA website states it's vertical ski carry. Wild Snow back that up in their comments.

Looks like diagonal, I don't see straps for side or A frame.
