Poster: A snowHead

I'm off skiing soon and I want to take a large ski bag and only hand luggage. Want to fit all my gear in. Any suggestions?

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

There is also the rather quaintly named, Douchebag... https://douchebags.com
I have one, but not the matching backpack. Works a treat. Two pairs of skis, and still room for much more. Not however cheap!

Douchbag looks good, can you get your boots in aswell?

really tempted by the dakine double ski bag 190cm - but compared to the cost of our last bag (which is technically still fine, just doesn't have wheels) I'm on the fence as to purchase or not!

Do bags packed with skis, boots, etc not weigh too much?

@NE1, Surprisingly not. The first time I lumped the kids stuff in too I was amazed when it came in on limit on our bathroom scales (which, despite their age are remarkably, and handily, accurate) and then at check in.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I bought one of the Nevica 'Monster' double bags from Sportsdirect. Apart from the uncool logo the bag is quite brilliant.
If you had x1 pair of skis in it there would be tons of space left over
I think they may have been discontinued but there's definitely some on ebay
Bag is higher quality than several brand name ski bags I've owned and has lasted much longer

You know it makes sense.

No drama with one pair of skis and boots. Maybe possible with 2 pairs. Not sure.
There is a carry-on bag available from Douchebag. It appears to work as a backpack of sorts, but also clips to the ski bag so that you can wheel the lot. I don't have that additional bag.
