The Osprey Kresta 30 Backpack is a hard working everyday backcountry pack to get you through everything from long tours to quick sidecountry laps. It has every feature you could think of, and a few that might not have even occurred to you. Pick your poison for ski and snowboard carry: vertical or horizonal, diagonal or A-frame, the Kresta is happy to oblige. It has a stowable helmet carry that you can move around depending on the location of your skis, and no matter where you helmet and planks are, you can always have instant access to both your dedicated safety pocket and your main dry storage compartment thanks to the excellent placement of zippered access panels. It's got hipbelt pockets, a LightWire peripheral suspension frame, and an insulated hydration sleeve and router so your water tube won't freeze, and the whole thing is backed up by Osprey's legendary All Mighty Guarantee.
