Ski bag for summer camp

it will likely end up weighing too much........ but the hard case snow tube for snowboards will work. 

I think it also has to be under 50 lbs, so it would be tough to get all of that, and still be under weight limit. The only suggestion is to not fly American Airlines, and go with somoeone else that doesn't have the 1 bag limit.

there are some other shipping compainies that handle sports gear.  just google it.


here is the largest case.   we don't travel with anything else!  going on 5 seasons and at least 10 flights.

i just bought a dakine bag that holds 1 pair of skis and poles. i'm just gonna put my boots in duffle bag or something.

dakine makes some really nice large bags that could work. or just carry your boots on and get a large snowboard bag

try salomon they make a huge bag designed for 2 pairs, has wheel its nice but kinda pricy would probaly fit everything though....

I have traveled a ton, and this method works the best.  Most airlines allow 2 carry-ons, you just gotta know how to work this.  get a fairly larget backpack, and with it loaded with gear, throw your boots over it.  Then, get a messanger bag for your laptop/mags/ect...  Then get yourself one of these bags, it will fit 2+ pairs of skis, poles, and all your ski clothes.

On the positive side.....American Airlines does not weigh ski bags

i know alot of airlines are changing how many bags you can have....but some...like air canada...if you booked your flight before a certin date you can go with the old baggage rules...i lucked out this year...but im screwed next year.

but you are usually allowed two carry on's....so bring the biggest carry on you can...pack it up...its good to carry your boots on anyway in case they lose your stuff...at least you have your boots. and pack it up with gear...put as many clothes as you can fit in your ski bag....get a big one...make sure its not over the weight limit.

you could always wear your boots onto the plane....bring sneakers or better yet flip flops in your bag...once your on the plane change em and put the boots in the overhead....you can attach your helmet to any carry on and they shouldn't say anything.....if they do....put it on....you could always stuff another duffel bag in your carry on....wear a ton of your outerwear...that takes up alot of space...and once your on the plane take it off and put it in the duffel bag and out it under your seat or above you in the overhead...or sit on it.

or you could always see if the hotel you are staying at has a vacume cleaner available for use...and get some suck bags...like the sapce saver ones.....and condense all your stuff...but put that stuff in your carry on cuz they dont weight those ussually....good luck dude....

what airline are you flying on and what camp are you going to?

If you fly delta I believe it is $75 if your bag is over 50 lbs, but now since they changed the bag rules, it is only $25 to bring an extra 50 lb bag. And if you bought your ticket before a certain date I think the old rules apply, because they didn't charge me any extra for another bag. It's so beat though, its hard to go skiing with only one bag.

when are you going. i might be able to loan you mine
