"Le Dieu" wrote in message ... Okay, just about to start packing my ski bag for the first time. It's one of those where you can pack in all your clothes and stuff around the skis.... Just a cautionary note: When we went to Madonna last year, all the ski, board and boot bags were bumped off the plane and did not turn up in the resort for 3 days. Fortunatley for us we had packed our boots in our normal luggage and only had to hire skis and poles, but those who packed their pants and jackets in their ski/board bags were in deep trouble. Along those lines, some airlines will not let you pack anything other than skis/poles in a ski bag (Air Canada is the one I know of for sure). It sounds a bit tight, but they did check. They let me off carrying socks inside my boots though! As to the original question, if the skies are clamped together tighly with straps or just a bit of gaffer tape then the edges should not cause any damage. I've often packed cloths around skis (except when travelling to Canada last year) and had no problems, but I don't tend to put my expensive goretex stuff in the ski bag, for exactly this reason. Oh, and "padded" ski bags just means there is padding in the ends. Dubious advertising, but at least there is a bit of padding where it is most needed with the padded bag. Not sure I've seen a fully padded ski bag. |
