I have been taking 2 , but I want to get down to 1. Just less to schlep. If I was driving, then more. 1 pair makes the decision ever more agonizing though
All those years you took two pairs of Coombas??I took 2 pairs on the airplane for years and years. The last couple of years I got fed up with the struggle and downsized to one pair. But then I'm happy skiing deep powder on 85 mm skis.
This is what we took the Jackson Hole Gathering last year.

Wait, I thought that style of carrying was called “the boyfriend” not “the husband”If flying, and my wife is going with me, I usually only take one pair as I'm schlepping her's too
We have two Double Sportube carriers for flying so bring 2 pairs each. I am very much a “if it fits it ships” style packer, so if driving it could be more!

I need to talk to your wife and learn her secrets of getting husband to schlep my skis. I always get the response “I chose you because you carry your own skis”. Maybe I set a bad precedent of independence early onI usually only take one pair as I'm schlepping her's too ( I use to take two for me and her one pair, but that has gotten to be too much of a hassle ).
That would be called rocks skis.2, but I'm heading back to the upper midwest, 1.
Two pairs, but I only have two pairs worth bringing.

Exactly. Why are so many of you responsible for managing someone else's skis?I need to talk to your wife and learn her secrets of getting husband to schlep my skis. I always get the response “I chose you because you carry your own skis”. Maybe I set a bad precedent of independence early on
I do... typically something around 90mm wide if I'm going out west, that's good all around. I figure if I really want something different, I'll rent. Going to New England, it might more typically be something skinnier.Does anyone still travel with one pair?
I used to take this mentality, until I decided to bring 3 snowboards on a a trip. I managed to stay under the weight limit, but was real close. After lugging it around the airport and to/from hotels, I realize the value of lightweight and compact luggage.I am very much a “if it fits it ships” style packer, so if driving it could be more!
