Poster: A snowHead

Hi,
I hope I can draw on your collective wisdom
I fancy doing some skiing in the nearby hills, but for various reasons (mainly expense, slightly because this is something I'll do on the odd day off, plus a contrarian streak) I don't want to invest in touring kit. So my alternative is to humph my alpine stuff up on my back and ski down. I've been looking at a few bags that are on US ebay, like this:

or this:

but struggling to find similar things from UK suppliers. Any ideas?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

You could just strap your skis to the side of your rucksack, one on each side, with the boots clipped into the bindings. Lots of rucksacks have 'compression straps' that will enable you to do this.
You'd have much more fun in Scotland with touring kit though.
Don't forget about the risk of avalanches.

Thanks for all the suggestions. A snowhead has offered me a backpack that fits the bill so going with that.
Have not ruled out touring when funds permit it
