In reply to nickinscottishmountains:
As galpinos said it’s a struggle to fit a week’s worth of clothing plus skis, poles, boots, etc into a Da Kine high roller bag. Unless you only wear one set of clothes all week!
As there’s two of us, the wife and I take a high roller bag and a wheeled hold-all type bag between us.
Both sets of skis, poles, one pair of boots and some clothing goes in the high roller, the other pair of boots, most of the clothing and both helmets go in the wheeled hold-all.
Both bags go as normal luggage although some airlines want you to declare the high roller bag as sporting goods due to its length.
There’s no extra charge for this as long as it’s within the usual 20kg weight limit. Although you usually have to take it to another drop off point after you’ve checked in. Still, it’s another queue to join and good practice for standing in a ski lift line.
And carrying your helmet as part of your carry on is a real pet peeve of mine.
If you must do so please ensure that it is able to swing loosely and wildly from your rucksack in order to slap as many fellow passengers in the face as possible. Tying it to the outside of your carry on bag also ensures that valuable overhead locker space is also taken up. Feel free to ignore the advice/rant about helmets.
