| @ster, I'd agree about the typical wheeled double ski bag being unwieldy. I guess I'm wondering about the trade off between extra weight and the convenience of wheels on a smaller bag. Typically I'll have ~15kg of luggage in a north face base camp duffel (or similar), plus hand luggage (with my boots in it if I'm flying) and skis which come in at about 12kg if I've got 2 pairs. I'm not exactly big nor strong so it all adds up and I've found that carrying 2 bags plus skis over a distance can be awkward. |
Is that 12kg for the skis including the bindings?
If you’re by yourself, yes hand luggage plus checked bag plus ski bag on shoulders can be awkward.
If I have to, hand luggage will be a small rucksack, check in will be a medium trolley bag (with one or two sets of bindings in it if needed) and non-wheeled ski bag over the shoulder. All just about manageable.

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

Yep, and definitely worst case scenario of piste skis that are heavy, and off piste skis with a different binding. If I've got 2 pairs of of piste skis that share a binding, then the weight is much less.
I'm definitely chasing marginal gains here and am a bit unusual in that I'm often not flying. Instead I may be walking a decent distance to a bus, then swapping between multiple trains, so ease of carrying is important. I've also found that 2 wheeled bags (ski bag and main bag) together are a pain in terms of manoeuvrability.

Definitely, having two articulations behind you each sometimes with minds of their own can be interesting. Also got to remember you have a 2m long tail, and get it out the way of lift doors.

Just thought I'd give an update. We ended up purchasing the Dakine Fall Line from funky yeti (https://www.funkyyeti.co.uk/collections/ski-bags). Got a bit of a discount as it was on pre-order. Anyway, it was delivered yesterday and looks nice and sturdy and very roomy. Roll on December 30th.....

I bought this bag recently. Unfortunately it weighs 4kg but it is well padded compared to the alternatives mentioned.
