Plan Ahead and Travel Light with Lodge Tower in Vail
Planning a ski trip is exciting, but getting your gear to the mountain can feel like a hassle, especially if you're flying. Lugging skis through airports and rental cars isn’t ideal when you're trying to kick off a relaxing vacation. That’s why many travelers are turning to ski shipping services as a convenient alternative. Here’s everything you need to know about how to ship skis to a ski resort.
Why Ship Your Skis?
Traveling with ski equipment can be challenging. Airlines charge oversized baggage fees, equipment can get damaged in transit, and hauling a ski bag through terminals adds unnecessary stress to your trip. Shipping your skis directly to your ski resort eliminates these issues, allowing you to travel hands-free and with peace of mind.
Choose a Trusted Ski Shipping Service
Several companies specialize in shipping sports equipment, including skis and snowboards. Services like Ship Skis, offer reliable delivery directly to your destination. You simply book your shipment online, attach the provided shipping label to your bag, and schedule a pickup, or drop it off at a local shipping location.
When staying at Lodge Tower, our front desk team can help coordinate with your shipping provider to ensure your gear arrives safely and is waiting for you upon check-in.
Timing Is Key
Ship your skis several days in advance to ensure they arrive before you do. Most ski resorts, including Lodge Tower, recommend allowing at least 5–7 business days for standard shipping, especially during peak winter months when delivery services experience higher volume.
Once your reservation is confirmed at Lodge Tower, you can contact our guest services team to arrange for secure delivery and storage of your skis until you arrive.
Label Everything Clearly
Make sure your skis are packed in a durable ski bag and labeled with your name, contact information, and reservation details. Include the full shipping address of Lodge Tower along with the name under which the reservation was made.

One of the many perks of staying at a Vail vacation rental like Lodge Tower is convenience. Our slopeside location means you can arrive, grab your skis, and hit the mountain without delay. No need to wait at baggage claim or line up at the rental shop—your equipment will be ready and waiting.
