This 11L Pack is perfect for someone who wants to carry a few items while skiing. Got tired of traditional backpack that caused me to sit forward on the chairlift. I would say this is a good Resort Pack

Pros:
1) Nice fleece lined goggle pouch, actually deeper than the one on Dakine's 20L Bag. You can easily use this to store your iPhone, wallet, keys
2) Board carrier & diagonal ski carrier. Cabled cord for ski carrier is better than system on Dakine Heli Pro 20L
3) Helmet carrier
4) Decent sized main compartment. When going with the 11L over the 20L, you need to be more creative packing items.
5) Low profile, means safer & comfortable when sitting on chair lift
6) Hydro sleeve is insulated.

Cons: None. If you need to carry more gear, or a shovel for backcountry...check out Dakine's larger Heli Packs

Overall, a well made product that is worth the money.
