I doubt I'll use it much on full-on touring days. I usually carry lunch and an emergency sleeping bag and such, so I wouldn't be able to get away with this on a tour anyway. Lighter days maybe, since I have SI issues that touring in a backpack really aggravates.
As you noted, I picked it up primarily for resort/slackcountry. I usually cart my backpack around, and this seems like a way better solution. Carries enough stuff, holds the shovel/probe, and can carry the skis diagonally if I'm boot packing around Sunshine/Louise or up to Taynton Bowl. Also thought it might be okay if I do a cabin trip, leave the backpack when a guy's just doing laps.
