This is a great pack, big enough to fit everything that you could need for a day in the backcountry, yet it can still cinch down to be small enough to not be bulky on those day when you don't need as much gear. Good organization, a separate avy pocket is a must for me and this pack has it. The pack distributes weight very well, and unlike some of dakines smaller packs theres never a problem strapping a board vertically, even if the pack is full. Was skeptical about the side ice axe placement at first, but its actually really great and super fast in and out. Great pack, no complaints.
