A 50L bag is ideal for 1-3 days any longer and you should not have a bag this small.
I used this bag two years ago and had great success with it. I mostly day tripped with it and it fits all the essential mountain gear. Avi gear, first aid, downjacket and ropes if needed. The roll top opens quickly and easily for top access and I used the side zip for the rest.
Ski strap system is set up for either skis or snowboard, but it seems to have a little too much going on for just my skis. I ended up modifying it a tiny bit to make it strickly for skis.
great pack
