Backcountry Access Stash Rider Backpack - 976cu in
Great pack

This is an excellent pack. Although advertised as a pack for snowboards, it works quite well to hold skis. The quick release straps make it easy to secure skis to the pack without removing gloves or mittens.
I found this quite useful during a trip to Aspen, CO, where carrying skis is necessary to go to Longshot and the Hanging Valley Wall in Snowmass as well as the Highlands bowl at Aspen Highlands.
The water reservoir works well in mildly cold conditions (20 degrees F and above) but does freeze in extreme cold conditions (below 20 degrees F) but short of putting vodka in the pack, I do not know of any other pack that would hold up in extreme cold.
