Sized for resort laps, the Mission Pro 18L stows your shovel and probe for powder days at the hill. There's room for skins and spare gloves, plus a fleece-lined pocket for goggles or sunglasses.
Not too big and not too small, the Team Women's Heli Pro 24L falls right in the Goldilocks zone of backcountry packs. This seek-and-destroy powder package is big enough, but certainly not too big.
