The ski racers have been doing it for years, and it’s time to get with the program. In today’s day and age when traveling with ski gear, there’s no need to be carrying armfuls of gear across ice parking lots, rogue ski poles sticking up like broken antennas, or velcro chafing your neck while your open ski boots slowly fill with falling flakes. We have the technology. We have the power. And the best ski and snowboard boot bags are ready to fill that void. We have backpack-style bags that fit your whole kit in a hands-free package to easily tote up to the lodge.
