Hi Newschoolers

I'm looking for a good tip.

My next trip will bring me from Europe to Vancouver (and on to Whistler), and then from Vancouver to Hawaii for some relaxation afterwords before taking the reverse trip home.

I'm bringing 3 pair of skis to Vancouver and would like to avoid having to drag them all the way to Hawaii and around on Hawaii and then back to Vancouver again.

Do anyone know if it is possible to store the skis for 1 week in Vancouver Airport? - Or anywhere close to Vancouver Airport? I have a 4 hour transit when I arrive in Vancouver so I should have time to go outside of the airport if necessary.

Any tips is appreciated

Best Regards,
Anders

Get them waxed / serviced at a local ski shop. Free storage :)

Hi Joelski.

That would be awsome. How close do you live to Vancouver airport?

Thanks,

That is a pretty good idea. Do you have any idea on shops near Vancouver Airport?

unfortunately i dont. try googling "richmond ski shops" ~ its the closes city to the airport. Also if you are staying over for a night on lay over, 99% of hotels will store them in their storage rooms no charge - ski province

Are you going to be staying in a hotel in Vancouver?

Booking the same hotel for before and after Hawaii and keeping your skis there with the bell desk is 100% the easiest option. Nowhere will say no but if its a smaller place without full amenities like a guy to take your bags to your room just call first and explain the situation. 2 separate stays a week apart means you're giving solid business and they will want to help you out.


I've done this all the time in Reno when I've gone home for a minute.
