Ski Bags

Choosing the right ski bag depends on how you plan to travel and how much gear you want to carry.

Padded ski bags offer extra protection for air travel, while lighter, unpadded bags work well for road trips, storage, or just keeping your car clean after hitting the slopes.

Ski Sleeves typically fit a single pair of skis, where larger roller bags have space for bindings, poles, boots, and additional gear if needed.

When packing skis for air travel, start by securing the brakes and placing the skis base-to-base. Use padding such as clothing or ski socks around the tips, tails, and bindings for extra protection. Ski poles should be secured separately or padded to prevent damage. A padded ski bag helps protect your equipment from impacts during transit and keeps everything organized.

Your ski bag should be at least as long as your skis, but not much longer. Most bags list a maximum ski length, make sure to choose a bag that closely matches your ski length to keep your gear secure and easier to carry.
