The Dakine Baker is an awesome smaller pack that has that overbuilt, Dakine feel to it. It does everything well, but it is on the smaller side of the spectrum. It is about as small as I would go for most of my uses.  I think it’s a great option for skiing the resort. It can handle a day of ski touring or side country hits, but it feels pretty maxed out. Plus, it’s an awesome travel daypack, and works well as an admittedly small hiking daypack and school bag. If you want a small, ski-oriented pack that’s just big enough, I’d take a look…
