If you want a real, valid recommendation, you have to list all your gear. Everything else is just conjecture. FWIW, carrying 50 lbs..

Took me a minute to get over the 50lb.. 100lb...
I can offer no help on pack size without seeing the pack list. Heck, I want to see the pack list just out of curiosity. Can't imagine carrying that much, as my year round TPW has never exceeded 25lb and that was carrying a bunch of things for an injured friend. Pack size is impacted by the weight, yes, but the volume is critical.
Yes, my pack weighs 70lbs, but it's all light weight gear....

I have the aether 85 lt and it is IMHO perfect for winter camping - 65-70lbs has been my limit to date.
I overpack though with at least double redundancy on stuff in the winter. Kinda have to if you are packing in over a long route.
I just finished converting a ulitily sled into a pulk though and took the pulk on my last adventure. Will NEVER snow show with a heavy pack again. Pulling a Pulk is the best method IMHO

I need to move. A 2 to 3 months winter sounds awesome. It’s more like 5 to 6 months of cold up here. This said I’m fine with a Granite Gear Blaze year round.
