I've had this bag for a few years now and it is solid. It compresses down really small, is light, and warm. I've done multi day backcountry ski trips and summer backpacking as well. Big Agnes has it figured out! Removing the insulation on the bottom saves weight and if you get the insulated air core pad to go with the bag it's plenty warm. I would however recommend adding a foam pad if you are sleeping on the snow. The draft collar works great as well. Get it.

Atomic nailed it on this one. The ski is light, strong, and fast. I mounted them with the Naxo NX01's and originally I planned on using them mainly in the backcountry and at the resorts on powderdays. I've used them about 12 days in the backcountry and about 10 at Squaw Valley. I thought I would only like them on the pow. I was wrong. These things rip in all conditions (except ice). Now my old skis just collect dust. If you live in the west this is the ski for you. Pull the trigger.

I've used this pack about a dozen times for backcournty day trips this year. It came highly recommended to me and I can see why. Plenty of room for all my gear, very comfortable, nice accesibility with the zip out back section, and great comfort both up and down the hill. Only one complaint is that you have to take the bite valve off the camelback if you want to remove it from the Poacher.
