Within Canada · Door to Door
Ship skis in Canada.
Skip the oversize counter.
More time on the slopes, less time waiting for your skis. LugLess ships your gear anywhere in Canada so you can fly light and arrive ready for first chair.
Only domestic Canadian shipping
From $48 CAD, no hidden fees
Door-to-door, resort or rental
First chair, without the ski bag drag.
Flying with skis inside Canada shouldn't mean oversize surcharges, shuttle Tetris, or a nail-biting wait at the special-handling counter. LugLess ships your skis and snowboards door-to-door anywhere in Canada, so you can show up ready to ride.
Ski bags are long, rigid, and easy to damage on airline belts. Add boots, helmets, and outerwear inside and you're one bag away from a $118 CAD overweight surcharge on top of the oversize fee. Whether you're heading to Whistler, Banff, Mont-Tremblant, or Blue Mountain, shipping your skis with LugLess means they'll be waiting at the resort while your hands stay free.
Skip the oversize counter. Hit Canadian powder faster.
Ski gear is heavy, awkward, and packed with boots, helmets, and outerwear that can trigger airline overweight surcharges fast. Here's why Canadian skiers ship instead of fly:
Dodge Canadian airline oversize fees
Air Canada charges $50 to $118 CAD each way for an oversize ski bag. WestJet is $50 to $100 CAD. Skip them both.
Fly light across Canada
No dragging a ski bag through Toronto, Vancouver, or Calgary airports. No special-handling counter. Just carry-on and go.
Protect skis, edges, and bindings
Carrier-tracked handling means less risk of dinged tips, scratched bases, and damaged bindings than airline belt systems.
Ship to hotel, resort, or rental
Your skis meet you wherever you're riding, from Whistler Blackcomb to Mont-Sainte-Anne.
Real-time tracking, every kilometre
Know exactly where your skis are from pickup to drop-off. No baggage-claim roulette on day one of your trip.
Only domestic Canadian service
We stay inside Canada. No customs paperwork, no cross-border surprises, all prices in CAD.

How to pack and ship skis in Canada safely.
Proper packing protects skis, edges, and bindings during transit. Follow these steps before drop-off:
- Use a padded ski bag or hard-sided case for maximum protection.
- Secure bindings so they don't shift or catch during shipping.
- Add padding around ski tips and tails with towels, clothing, or foam.
- Keep poles separate or secured tightly to avoid scratching the ski base.
- Consider a separate boot bag rather than packing boots inside to avoid overweight fees.
- Secure the shipping label on the outside and drop a backup contact card inside the bag.
- Ship 5 to 10 business days ahead during peak winter weeks (holidays, spring break).
- Consider optional insurance for high-value skis or race gear.

Your options for shipping skis in Canada
Most Canadian skiers compare three options. Here's how they stack up:
| Option | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Flying with your skis | No advance planning. Skis with you the whole way. | Air Canada and WestJet oversize equipment fees, overweight charges, awkward shuttles, ski tip damage risk. |
| Specialty ski shippers | Door-to-door, ski-specific focus. | Often higher pricing. Fewer carrier options. Most aren't built for within-Canada shipping. |
| LugLess | From $48 CAD. Compare multiple carrier rates. Ships to any Canadian address. Real-time tracking. Domestic-only, so no customs surprises. | Requires packing and planning 5 to 10 business days ahead during peak weeks. |
