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 :-)

Dakine fall line double ski bag

Can you get three pairs of ski's in them? Ski size's I need to get in are one pair at 160 one pair at 165 and one pair at 180. It would just make the train journey much easier if we had just one bag of ski's.

clive5, could get 3 pairs in but wouldn't be able to fit your boots.....

I've only managed to get two pairs in but mine measure 189 and 174. It's the bindings that get in the way of each other so I don't know if it's feasible removing those and putting them in a separate bag?


Sorry to hijack the thread but has anyone had trouble taking this ski bag on a charter airline?

I've taken it on BA in the past no problem but see that the charter airlines rules are a bit more restrictive, I'm flying with Thomson this weekend and they state I can take...

20 kg hold bag
6 kg ski bag (additional charge paid for), but it states that only skis or board in the bag
10 kg hand luggage.

I'm wondering if they'll be ok with my combining my hold bag and ski bag into a 26-30 kg dakine coffin bag and a small backpack as carry on luggage?

Puzzled

bucking bronco, split 2 of the 3 pairs of skis.. place 2 flat in the bottom, 2 flat against either side (all bases pointing out the way) and 1 pair down the middle..?

bucking bronco, means no room for boots but it works. For the record I will be fitting 189/175 twins/174 with flat tails in to the bag! So 3 pairs of pretty big skis. I wish I could take credit for it but I am sure I read it somewhere online... Laughing

Clive5, your right, my skis weigh something around 7kg?

Just phoned Thomson up and they said it was fine to combine my allowance - brilliant!

Apparently there are cheeky barstewards out there who will try and take a coffin sized ski bag and a big samsonite!

Now the problem of 26 kg... Puzzled

bucking bronco, I take my Fall Line and my 160 litre split Toofy Grin

Also the camera bag and the backpack on to the flight.

I feel it is my duty to try and milk it, I only weigh about 65 kilos dripping wet so I have to try and make it up to the dudes carrying round 100 some how.

arv, are they all mounted flat? I have issues with my double bag with my GS and SL skis as they all have riser plates and the Salomon heelpieces are quite tall anyway. I wonder if I could fit both pairs plus my Legend Pros (flat) in a Dakine bag.

Sideshow_Bob, still to receive the 189s (Flat with 614s) but my 175 ARVs are flat with PX15s and the 174 Vists are mounted up with a plate.

would you be able to squeeze a 172 ski into the 170 bag, or better off going for the 190 bag?

DazUltra, I'd go for the 190 if i was you. If only to fit in a bit of padding round your tips and tails.
