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 :-)

I just bough a Volkl 2 pair wheeled bag from Two Seasons in Peterborough, only £40, bargain. I've never taken 2 pairs together before, first time in February, normally wrap skis in bubble wrap though.

radar If you decide to use bubble wrap, make sure the skis are dry first as the edges will show signs of rust very quickly.

I have the S&R double bag with wheels. It's padded so I don't worry so much about the edges getting damaged from outside 'forces', but I do put one pair inside another (single) ski bag in the main bag to stop the edges of each set catching against the other.

I then pad the ends of the bag with other random clothes!

I don't use jackets and sallys to pack around edges though as I get the feeling that the edges could damage the clothing, I might be wrong though, papasmurf must find it fine!

Yeah never had an issue, the bag does have compression straps so the skis stay pretty still and if you don't wrapped stuff to tight then theres enough movement to aviod tears etc
