I used the Dakine Guide Backpack as a all day pack while skiing on Ruth's Glacier in Denali National Park. It is a great pack with all the features required for winter skiing in the backcountry. Plenty of room to store all the gear required (shovel, probe, skins, etc) in the front gear enclosure with easy access from the side without having to open the top of the pack. Plenty of room inside the pack for extra clothes or other essentials. Hydration system worked great (I added the 70L UnBottle hydration pack (camelbak) without the winterized kit and the sleeve took care of keeping the hose from freezing). Rear access is just a great idea. Pack fit well (I am 6' and 200lbs). I would buy this pack again.
