Box 'em up, measure and weigh your box, go to online calculator for ups, USPS, FedEx, DHL and choose the least expensive option.

UPS is usually better to ship stuff like skis. I think the general rule is anything over 5lbs is usually cheaper to use UPS. I’ve personally never used Fedex to ship but every time I order something that ships Fedex it’s usually late. Wouldn’t recommend fedex but that’s just me.

I haven't noticed any difference in on-site performance between those two, I do feel like FedEx takes better care of the packages in transit, I see more UPS boxes that are ripped, crushed, punctured, etc.

For where I'm at usps is always cheaper. UPS always gives me ridiculous quotes no matter the size or destination
