Zeke Adkins, founder of Luggage Forward, writing for Entrepreneur recently, summed up the conundrum like this: “Customers are not always right.

What’s the Better Deal for Skiers: Fly, Ship, or Rent?

Alternately, get your gear to the slopes with Luggage Forward, a shipping company that specializes in sports gear. They offer overnight, two-, three-, five-, and seven-day door-to-door services. Co-founder Zeke Adkins points out small airports, such as Aspen, are usually served by smaller aircraft. “Big double ski bags often get bumped off of flights due to weight imbalance issues,” he says. According to Mr. Adkins, greater New York to Colorado is one of the more popular routes, and on average the seven-day service costs $84 door to door for ski equipment. Money is refunded for any late bag, and the company will reimburse up to $500 for any expenses incurred.
