Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Ski bag for short skis
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Hopefully a simple question:

I have a a pair of short skis (127cm) that I need to buy a ski bag for. Whilst some places do a suitable length bag, they are a bit scarce and I was wondering if there was any reason why I shouldn't just buy a normal length bag (160cm say) and just pad out the ends with socks or other bits of kit?

Any advice (apart from "Just buy proper length skis" Smile ) much appreciated.

Cheers,

Ant

No reason, I would have thought, but your bag'll have a floppy bend in it.

oh - and you could just buy proper length skis wink

antpj,

What you can do is get a normal length ski bag, and fold the ends over and do the straps up tight over the ends, then the skis won't slide about. Hope that makes sense!

Decathlon do a special short bag for their special short skis. Cheap, too. I saw them in Albertville, but maybe they have them here too.

Thanks for all the advice. I tried Decathlon a few weeks ago, and they didn't have any: "out of season"..

To answer my own question, I ended up getting a bag from Severn Sports: 140cm, designed for kids skis I think.

When I use my streetracers (160cms - too short I know, but sometimes I like to pretend I'm good so I break out the kiddy ski's and leave the Fischers at home) I'll stick them at one end of my ski bag (210cm) and sort of overlap them with my poles so there's a bit of hard ski or pole running along the whole bag, thus solving floppy bag syndrome. Also allows me to pack it out with clothes to cheat on my baggage allowance.
