[quote=Anonymous]Where are you going? Airline policies differ, but most allow a ski bag and a boot bag as a single piece of checked luggage. Occasionally, a gate agent will be picky about the 62” policy - some airlines specify that the ski bag can’t be longer than 62”, which is very short. Do not select “oversized luggage” when you check in online - they will definitely charge you if you do that. Sports equipment is usually exempt from the oversize fees.

Consider if you want to send your skis ahead with shipskis or similar service. You have to have an address that will accept them and you have to give yourself a healthy cushion in case there are shipping delays. Sometimes the ground transport is cost prohibitive when flying- you may need two Ubers or two rentals. Or a rental with a ski rack that requires you to unpack 5 ski bags in the rental lot to load the skis. Five pairs of skis, poles and boots will take up a lot of room.

Ski vacations can be a fun time to demo different skis. I’m guessing you have narrower skis if you are coming from the east coast, you may all want to try a wider ski in CO. We are a family of 4, and we bring our boots, but usually rent when we fly. [/quote]
