CAMP USA Campack Xpress 390 Backpack
Great Lightweight Freeride Ski Pack

I have been highly impressed with this ski pack offering from CAMP USA. The Campack is a very streamlined ski/freeride pack, and hugs my back on the descents like no pack I have every tried. I am growing to like its smaller interior volume,1300cu in, as it forces me to not be profligate in my packing decisions. The diagonal ski carrying system works great, and the side pockets are perfect for my shovel handle, probe, and for stashing skins on the way down. The interior has a mesh pocket for compartmentalizing my layers/goggles/water bottle/etc, while also allowing me to stash my shovel blade. The zipper offers quick access to the interior. The only downside is that I would not feel comfortable using this as an all-day pack when I have many layers and items to carry (a rando rope would be a stretch to try and fit in with normal repertoire). All in all, I love this pack for half-day backcountry outings, when I am out hunting for turns, and want a sleek pack to match.
