Looking for perfect ski pack

- Low profile (would like it to sit as close to my back as possible w/ minimal bulk)

- Waist and chest straps

- Ability to carry skis

- Ability to carry shovel and avy gear (doesn't matter if it carrys shovel on inside of pack or outside)

- Preferably a hydration system, but not a must-have

- No more than 25-30L, the smaller the better

Thanks all. I've perused previous threads and found some good info but I'm just looking for more info.
 
I have an osprey kode 32 packs that fits all of the requirements listed above! When I don’t need it to get up, I just use it to hold whatever I want on the hill. For those spring shenanigans it holds 28 beers comfortably.

Edit* there is also an Osprey kode 22

For maximum durability and class-leading suspension: Mystery Ranch Saddle Peak 20L

For lower weight and more inbounds use where you're not carrying as much weight: the new Patagonia Snowdrifter 20L

Both of those packs hug my back perfectly and don't flail around while skiing very fast, which, for me, is a top priority.
