The ski bag allows the safe and clean  
transport of up to 3 pairs of standard  
skis or up to two snowboards.  
The length of the ski bag and the addi-  
tional space provided in the luggage  
compartment make it possible to carry  
skis up to 6 ft 10 in / 2.10 m long.  
Because of the tapered shape of the  
bag, only two pairs of skis longer than  
6 ft 10 in / 2.10 m can be carried.
