It depends on the specific pack. Many resort daypacks are designed primarily for skiers and lack snowboard carry systems. If you're a snowboarder, look specifically for packs with vertical snowboard carry straps. Some packs include both ski and snowboard carry options, but this isn't universal. Always verify snowboard carry compatibility before purchasing—don't assume a 'ski backpack' will accommodate your board.
