 Poster: A snowHead
|
Fed up struggling through Chambery and similar airports with 2 pairs of skis (wife has bad back) 1 suitcase and 2 boot bags! The Snowkart kart 6 seems to offer a good combination with double ski bag and two suitcases (total 85 litres) in single sipped and wheeled bag. Normal retail £220.
Is it worth it?
Anyone used this combination?

Would imagine that will be seriously heavy with two pairs of skis and all the other stuff in it - if you're over the "heavy" limit (25kg?) you're likely to get hammered. We use a double Sportube to hold both pairs of skis + poles (has wheels on one end) and each have a large light 4 wheel "spinner" suitcase that we can get our stuff and boots in. If the two suitcases are over the weight limit we shove stuff into the Sportube which is normally a good bit below the weight limit. 4 wheel spinners are great because you can just push them along. I think they are "Samsonite New B-Lite 4-Wheel Black Large Suitcase" - they're not cheap but we got them in a sale, but anything similar would be fine.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It can be broken down into separates for loading on the plane.

That looks like a pretty good solution actually. The modular weights don't look much heavier than "standard" equivalents.

@Steveee, Pic I looked at didn't show that but can now see it breaks up.

@DB
I'm interested, but 45 litres capacity is not a lot. Wonder if ski boots would fit in the ski bag ...

There are a number of snokarts. The Kart 6 is made up of three separate bags. Ski bag is 92 litres and the hold-all and wheelie are 43 litres each.

@Steveee, It was the hold all and the wheelie I was referring when I said 45 (43) litres "is not lot" for two people.
