Ski carrier advice
I have my own skis. What is best ski bags or ski cases (hard) ?
NB we'll be carrying 2 sets of skis, so a double case would be of use. Any advice grateful ...... TIA Andy |

Ski carrier advice
I have a skibag (Salomon/soft) with tie down straps in both ends. It easily
carries my own and my sons ski, poles included. I am quit pleased with it. As it has tie down straps, the skis is firmly rested, and won't slide inside the bag, causing scratches. It has a strap for carrying over the shoulder, witch can be a great releaf. Beware of cheap bags, as the zipper may be weak and open up where it's supposed to be zipped. Wouldn't change for anything else. "FredB" skrev i en meddelelse ... I have my own skis. What is best ski bags or ski cases (hard) ?

Ski carrier advice
A few years ago we bought a double hard case and it is very good. They
are significantly more expensive than soft bags but worth it. The wheels make it easy to lump around airports etc. and the hard case means it doesn't flap when tied to the roof rack where it behaves more like a ski box. The poles have stayed straight and undented through baggage handling something that could not be said about our previous soft bags. The only downsides are that it takes more space when empty and it is harder to pack the skis into. John Ivan Rafn wrote: I have a skibag (Salomon/soft) with tie down straps in both ends.
