Snowboard-Backpack - suggestions?

Hi,
Im looking for a good snowboard Backpack. It should be not too big,
I will put in there only food and drinks.
Which one is very comfortable and fits good to the body?
It shouldn't be too heavy..

thx

Last year I bought a Burton AK Paradise bag from ebags.
It has been to the mountian about 12 time so far and works pretty well.
Keep in mind that I live in Europe with no car, so the bag carries the board
to a from each resort (usually 1-2 hours of train and walking time). Other
things to keep in mind, I am 6'5" and 190 lbs, with a medium frame and
spend most my time freeriding, off trail in the powder, rarely in the parks
and only for small jumps, no rails or pipe use.

Good Points:
Fits very well to my frame, looks kinda small on my size person so might
be better on someone smaller.
Does not stick out to much on the back of you (w/o board). Very thin
profile.
Vertical board carry works well. I have run full out through crowds for
about 4 minutes to catch a train and had no problems with a board mounted on
it.
Internal pocket for hydration system is not fancy but works fine.
Durable material so far. Have only cut up the board carry system in one
spot on a sharp board. Would suggest covering the board edges.

Bad Points:
The waist straps sticks out a little if you do not have them closed
around you. This is more of an issue when not using it for boarding.
It is very small, so not much more than lunch for 1-2 and a small extra
layer of clothing will fit in it.

Very good point:
Discontiued and on sale a ebags. Warning, you will get spam email from
ebags all the time, so be careful on which email you give them.

Heres a link to the one I got.
