ISSUES with back packs and travel cases

Problems traveling to resort: none, even with TSA for my backpack. Only annoyance is my ski bag is a soft padded bag. I don't trust airline employees so I have to spend extra time padding it with clothes. I'd get a hard case but the brittle tubing probably wouldn't last long nor store well. Having a hard case that's padded on the inside for skis, and outside to protect the hard case would be a cool idea.

Problems at resort: having to take backpack off on lift. Then that creates a whole new set of problems as it restricts space once the bar comes down and if it's a full chair. Also then I have to take time buckling my straps at the top. Another problem is water lines to bladders freezing but that can usually be avoided by blowing back into it and drinking every ride up the lift.

So a gun case, just bigger?

I have the old line skis backpack/boot bag and it's awesome. There are pockets for boots on the side, then the space in the middle (main compartment) isn't very big but ideal for street clothes or an extra layer, then there is a flap pocket on the top that can fit a few pairs of goggles or quickly accessible stuff. This is awesome for a daily, but also for larger trips where you need something functional and easy to carry (ie. this on your back and actual luggae or duffel on shoulder/in hand. I got this bag at least ten years ago, so I definitely need a replacement. I can't even find a picture of it. The best feature is the bottom being water treated, so when you get to the mountain and throw all your shit on, you can fill up the boot pockets with beers and take it up to the park/shelter with you. This is NOT designed to be a backcountry pack in any way.

I've been looking into the boot bag that goes from backpack into duffel by folding the boot compartments out. Looks like the most high quality and logical upgrade. It's expensive as fuck though, so I stopped caring and forgot the name.

biggest issue would be cold boots. Some companies make heated boot bags but they dont have a battery so they need to be plugged in to a car outlet. A bag with a battery built in would be dope.

Thanks for the replies!
I will definitely be trying to implement them into my designs, you have been a huge help.
