What shop do you work at, marshal?
Been using a Wookie Shovel pack for a couple of seasons and I really like the way it rides (high up on the back). The pack straps let you compress the contents down into a tight package so things don't shift around as you ski. No floppage at all even with just the minimum.
I would go with something larger like the Couloir or the Sun Dog for overnighters but the Shovel has been perfect for day trips & lift-served with lunch in the trees.
(As a fashion plus, the wookie blue perfectly matched my wife's HH jacket so she's happy with hers as well.)
Da Kine Guide Pack and an older Poacher Pack. I like the back access (two full-length zippers are inside the stays). Few ski pack manufacturers have back access - Lamar and Clive, and many a couple of others. One minor quibble I have is that the various straps flap loudly when skiing. I haven't used the Poacher pack for two-and-a-half years. For years I hiked to powder stashes carrying my fat skis diagonally. I'm thinking about getting another Da Kine pack - the Ridge, because it has stays and back access.
All Da Kine packs are so overbuilt - they're like North Face used to be ten years ago.
I am a fan of DaKine packs as well...I had the vertex...great pack but it was stolen a couple of weeks ago. Does anyone own the DaKine Ridge Pack. It looks extremely nice with the back access and holds a lot of gear for its size, well at least it looks that way.

anyhow, we don't really care much new, as we are a consignment shop (high end only - think arcteryx, patagucci, dana design), but can for sure order stuff (aka wookey), and will give a nice discount off of retail etc...
