I have very little backcountry experience and just purchased the covert. What is the best way to place your skiis on the pack? I have tried the A formation with the skiis on the side but it seems awkward.

I prefer a diagonal set-up with every pack I've ever used. That being said, the A-frame style will be a little more stable once you have some gear crammed in you pack. This pack is so easy to carry skis diagonally...slide them into one of the big loops at the base of the front of the pack and clip them in diagonally across the back. Voila, so fast, don't hit you in the head on steep uphills, and won't catch the back of your knees or tag the ground on the way up.
