For myself, I don't see a need for a pack when skiing at a typical resort.

I don't carry a pack very often, usually only if i'm going to be in the sidecountry. Most stuff I carry fits in my jacket and pants. Wallet, keys, cellphone, multi-tool, balaclava, lock, chapstick, flask full of Jaeger or Jameson, and sometimes a safety meeting kit. Recently, I cut up an Absorber (similar to a sham-wow) and I keep a small piece in my pocket. It's great for getting snow and moisture out of your goggles if you happen to yardsale it. Just make sure to keep it in a warm pocket. Doesn't do much good if it's frozen.

dont think a pack is really needed anywhere in the east lift service....

when i skin, i do carry a few extra dry layers, water, helmet, towel, bars....pack stays inside when i'm done skinning and using the lifts...

if i've boozed heavy the night before, i will put a slim small camelbak under my shell for hydration..
