so im going to whistler from ottawa in january for 2 weeks. I started skiing last season and i picked it up really quick because i was skiing up until i was 11. Personally id much rather ski in whistler but i dont want to hold my friend back who can ride pretty much anything. So i want to bring my board and my skiis. Doesnt anyone know of a large bag that could possibly fit both??

anything will help, thanks!

The Dakine Concourse Double is what you want....

how long are you skis and board?
You might be able to fit them in to a snowboard bag if your skis are small enough.

If not, I'd recommend the Dakine or Armada bags. Both are equal. The Concourse is $$ though.

Try going to a shop, and seeing if they have bags, then trying to fit skis and snowboards of your sizes into the bags.
Ask first too

Dakine makes a lot of nice luggage bags, some with wheels and boots pockets. Just remember that airports will rape you with charges if it's over a certain weight.

1st post so i hope i dont sound like an idiot.

i was in the same position as you but i ended up with the Dakine Concourse Double. fits my board and skis no problem plus all my other gear. i just take my ski boots in a bag as a carry on. good quality too all my other luggage is Dakine. and it takes a beating traveling from PA to Whistler. the Armada Anchorage bag is legit too but i couldnt find one around me to check it out. hope this helps.

Yep....as I said above

The Dakine Concourse Double is what you want....

Read this review: http://blistergearreview.com/gear-reviews/snowboard-reviews/dakine-concourse-double-ski-bag-wheeled-duffle

It'll provide you with all the relevant info.... including stuff about weight limits. for its size and capacity, you can fit a crazy amount of stuff in this bag till it bumps over the 50lb limit

yes this. i have one and its great, the only problem i have with it is if you (as i did when i went to nz) have skis that arent incredably long (at the time i had 171's) the bag is majorly unwieldy and you look like an idiot with it, otherwise it the best bag out there

This is what I took to japan and loved it. I fit my hellbents, anthems, set of boots, two sets of outerwear and two sets of poles in it
