If you'll be traveling for a ski holiday, it is sometimes tricky to know what to pack. You may not even have an issue knowing what to pack, but instead have an issue figuring how it is possible to get everything you will need from your home to your destination. Skis do not simply fit into cases, and if you're flying, this presents a big problem.
Start by understanding what is available at your destination. Is there a rental shop? How much are the rental costs for skis, boots, and poles. If it is reasonable, and you don?t mind skiing with rented hardware, this is a viable option? And it makes packing and traveling way easier.
If you don?t care for hired hardware, there is another option. Find out if there are any ski shops in the area. There usually are. Get costs on skis, poles, and boots, and then ask if they buy used apparatus. If they don?t, ask if there's anybody near by that does purchase used gear. Call that place to get an estimation on how much you could get for hardly used ski apparatus. Figure the difference in the money you may spend on the ski equipment, and the money you will get for the used equipment when you are finished with it. If it isn?t far more than what it might cost you to rent the apparatus, go for it!
Ski suits, ski jackets, and sweaters can be really lumpish, and hard to pack. These items will take up lots of room in your suitcase, and leave less room for other clothing and necessities. If you are trying to pack for a 14 day ski holiday, it's going to be impossible to fit everything you need into one suitcase.
There's a way to solve this. Call the lodge or resort where you will be staying. Tell them that you need to ship a package, for yourself, to them, and that you need that package to be there when you arrive. Ask them if they'll hold it for you at the desk. In most cases, they will. Next, get a box, put all of your ski suits, your ski jacket, and any other bulky items in the box, and ship it to yourself, in care of the lodge or resort. Shipping can be overnite, 2 day, or 3 day depending on how far it must travel. Depending on how much the box weighs, you will usually pay less than fifty dollars to ship a package in the continental United States?which is a lot less than you would pay an airline for extra bag!
