well, it really depends on your local postal agency. what i did was cut some boxes up to fit the skis,wrapped the skis with bubble wrap, again with some more bubble wrap. tape the skis together, fold the box around the skis, tape it together solidly, send it

if you use this method, do not use duct tape! people freak out and will refuse to send it, make everything neat and pretty. i doubt this post helped, but that how ive shipped all my skis
