How Ship4Snow works: pack it, ship it, track it, ski it

Ship4Snow ships skis and snowboards you pack in your own padded bag. You get a price from two ZIP codes and an arrive-by date, confirm the pickup and delivery addresses, then buy the label. Optional protection and optional SmartTrack GPS are added before you pay. After drop-off or pickup, track the bag until it reaches your lodging.

The four steps

  1. Get a quote. Enter two ZIP codes, choose Skis, Snowboard, or Ski & Boot Bag, and pick an arrive-by date on the quote page. Packed gear uses a standard size for that choice. Choose Enter my size if your bag is different, and enter the packed weight in pounds. Round trip rates the return with these addresses swapped.
  2. Confirm the addresses and buy the label. Enter the real pickup and delivery addresses and a receiver phone. The label cannot be bought until those are in. Add protection here if you want it. Its price is included in the all-in quote, and the shipping options page shows the coverage amount.
  3. Drop off or schedule a pickup. Drop-off is usually cheaper. The shipping options page shows how much less before you pay. Pickup is door-to-door if you would rather not drive to a carrier.
  4. Track to the mountain. Follow carrier scans on the tracking page. SmartTrack GPS, if you added it, gives you a record of the delivery on top of the carrier scans. It is included on every round trip.

Packing

  • Use a padded ski or snowboard bag. Tape loose parts and pad bindings. Poles or a board can go in the same bag when they fit.
  • A ski and boot bag can hold boots, a helmet, and outerwear with your skis or snowboard when the bag is within the size you quoted.
  • Ship five to ten business days ahead, and set arrival for one business day before you travel.

Bags, GPS, and international shipping

  • You do not need to buy a bag or a box. If you want one, the optional Ski Box and Snowboard Box are $20 each. A box does not include SmartTrack GPS.
  • SmartTrack GPS is optional on a one-way trip. Add it when you book. It is included on a round trip.
  • This storefront quotes US door-to-door shipping today. International routes appear on the shipping options page when they are available for your ZIPs.
