Why? Skis are built to take abuse, they're not made from egg shells.

Boxing gloves, they're even better.
Can't say I've ever thought for more than 0.1 of a second about the potential for ski tip damage in transit.

Take tube socks. Put over either end of skis. Put skis down leg of padded ski trousers. Put other end of skis down arm of ski jacket.
Ski bag now has skis, poles, socks, trousers and jacket in there, and skis won't get damaged.

Monium, you're brave taking a chance with slicing your ski trousers and jacket to pieces. I use old jeans, cut the legs off and pull them over skis which deals with edge-to-edge bashing, then wrap the middle in an old single duvet which helps protect the bindings. If you think I'm going to risk my expensive skiing kit by putting them in with sharp edged skis you've got another thing coming. I don't think about the ski tips at all.

There's a few "Tiger" ones that aren't being used.

Bode Swiller, already got a padded bag, and working my way towards a padded cell, but the chap at EB who sold me my skis and fitted my bindings then advised taking precautions to protect them in transit. Might be a load of old tosh and I completely accept that skis are made to be bashed around, but for 10 minutes work to (possibly) protect £1000 worth of skis and bindings it's worth a shot.

Dr John, I recommend the cell. If you have strong velcro ski ties (you know, like the one below, not the weedy thin ones) and you have one top and one bottom and sometimes one middle, your skis will stay together. then if they are in a padded bag with the exterior straps pulled tight, the skis won't move around in there or get hit from outside objects and nor will your poles.

You know it makes sense.

Dr John, i know  Couldnt resist it

Dr John,
but then 4 skis means 4 golf head covers, which means you must have a 7 wood in your bag, which means you must be a REALLLLy slow skier, which means you dont need to protcet your tips in eth first place

Bode Swiller, that, sir, is not completely silly suggestion, and one that's far too simple for my over engineering brain to comprehend. I'll pick some up this week (and still use all the other gubbins, I'm a belt and braces man, me).

I think I've just invented a new sport in my head - skigolf. You carry just one club, and have to lady's front bottom a ruddy great ball down a ski slope (the fairway) at the hole (any child wearing a purple helmet) winner is the first one to hit a child taking turns to play. If you punt it into the rough then you can take a drop ball, unless you're wearing a helmet in which case you have to go fetch no matter what.
Plus there's an entry level kids game that even adults can play drunk, just use the park as a crazy golf course.

That's like combining the two most completely gayest things ever into a moment of singular homoerotic perfection.
