Ski Bags are a pretty simple premise. To make dragging all of your ski kit overseas easy and comfortable, and to keep the dastardly airlines from damaging your new, shiny, skis that you purchased here at aussieskier (wink wink).

Over the last 30 years, the aussieskier crew have become fairly experienced travellers. For the most part, doing back to back winters both here in Australia and various parts of the world. America, Canada, Europe, Japan, we have definitely had some fun sampling the worlds mountains and the amazing snow found across the seas. We have picked up a few tips about travelling over the years, so if you have any questions, definitely get in touch.

Factors to Consider

Volume

Single or Double? Many ski bags are designed to take two sets of skis, though these may still be a good idea if you are only travelling with one. A double ski bag allows you to fit more of your possessions in the one bag and may stop you from needing to bring a 2nd or 3rd bag.

Wheels

Considering cavemen worked out the wheel thousands of years ago, its hard to consider travelling with a bag without wheels. Full ski bags can weigh upwards of 25kg, your shoulder will thank you for wheels.

Padding

Baggage handlers are rough on baggage. Doesn’t matter if you fly first class or budget, the same people are throwing your bags around the tarmac. Padded bags last longer and offer better protection for your gear.

Length

Getting Ski Bag length right is important if you want to avoid the dreaded bag sag. The feeling of having the bottom of the bag drag along the ground of the airport is not a nice one.

Weight

Lighter is better in the world of ski bags, means you can take more of your precious cargo without busting your baggage allowance.

Colour

Colour is surprisingly important in ski bags. Black is the most popular choice because it doesn't pick up grime as easily. But when the sea of Black ski bags comes out on the barrage carousel, being able to pick out your coloured bag is a big plus.
