It certainly isn't a ski-specific pack, and it isn't advertised as being waterproof. Any of the camelbak's support adding their insulated tube cover to prevent water from freeziing in the tube itself. I don't know if you've researched this, but this pack falls under CamelBak's Hike/Alpine collection, and not their Ski/Board collection. You might want to consider something like the Pit Boss or the Tycoon (their names, not mine...) instead.
