was thinking of getting a deuter freerider, but i found out the straps arent wide enough to hold fatties (like pistols) in an a-frame.
anyone have suggestions on what packs have a mount that is neither a-frame or verticle snowboard?

My Dakine fits my explosives, so like everybody else said, go dakine.

A-Frame ski holders are for people stuck in the '90s. Diagonal carry is the shit. Dakine.

I have an awsome Mountain Equipment Co. backpack that I find better than my old DaKine pack for BC. Its really good and carries one ski on each of its sides so its evenly balanced and its not right on the back like diagonal ones so if you need to get to some compartments its super easy and quick.

A frame is used to better balance your skis for longer hikes and such. But its all personal preference.

I think on the front of the pack, in an X, so the tails aren't near your legs would be pretty good. Kind of the double diagonal.
