I’ll be leaving near the end of January to go back out West to one of my favorite spots, Snowbasin in Utah! For the past few years I’ve been able to take a trip out there for work and of course to snowboard. This year it appears I’ll be able to stay a few days longer than normal.

I’m so ready to get out there I’ve already started getting my gear together. I usually pack my board along with all my snowboarding gear, clothes and boots and everything else into my board bag and I have to say, its been nice to be able to fit everything in one bag.

I’ve been using an older model Dakine Dually (190 cm) that has treated me well! It has heavy padding to keep your skis or snowboard protected, heavy duty detachable padded straps with metal buckles, two smaller storage compartments separate from the ski/snowboard compartments, and rollers to keep things moving.

My only complaint has been that its too long. I have to remind myself that just because there’s more room doesn’t mean I should keep stuffing things in there.  With the weight limitations when flying I’ve barely squeaked by at the baggage check.

I’ve heard you have to pay for an additional bag if you exceed the weight limit but you’d have to double check the rules. Eventually I’d like to get a smaller bag like the Dakine Boardpack Snowboard Bag around the 157 cm range but will mostly stick with Dakine. Very happy with the quality!
