If you need a big bag to put everything in this is it! Airlines excess baggage fees can sting a little, so instead of paying for an extra ski bag check this in as your only luggage. It easily fits two pairs of skis and a set of poles, with removable tarp-lined boot bag that's great for stowing wet boots, and vented outerwear bag that lets apparel breath to minimize that "ski-trip musk". But if you are just taking one pair of skis you can fill this bag up to your weight allowance and take the rest as carry on.
