Ski Holiday Luggage Storage — Ski + Suitcase Drop
You landed with a ski bag + suitcase. Your first ski day starts tomorrow. Your hotel check-in is at 15:00. Where does everything live for 6 hours.
Ski holidays generate the most physical luggage of any travel: ski bag (or snowboard), boot bag, primary suitcase, sometimes helmet bag. Airport lockers are rare + tiny + won't hold a ski bag. Ski resort hotels usually have ski storage BUT only for confirmed guests + only after check-in. The airport→resort transfer gap on arrival day is the crunch point. This is standard practice for weekend skiers doing Fri arrival → Sun departure trips.

Practical logistics
Ski bag counts as 1 piece
Radical Storage prices per piece — a full-length ski bag (up to 200 cm) counts as 1 piece, same as a suitcase. A pair of skis + poles in a bag = 1 piece. Boot bag separately = 1 piece. This math is why serious ski families book 3-4 nights at a ski hotel and use hotel ski room for free.
When Radical Storage wins vs hotel ski room
Winning for: arrival-day gap (before check-in), departure-day gap (after checkout), day-trip skiers (staying somewhere else), 1-2 night quick trips (no hotel package). Losing for: full-week ski holidays at ski hotels (hotel ski room included with room). Rule of thumb: 1-2 night trips = Radical Storage, 3+ nights = hotel ski room.
Ski bag insurance
Radical Storage standard $3,000/piece coverage applies to ski bags. This roughly covers mid-range skis + boots ($1,500-2,500 total). Premium racing gear or new $2,000+ high-end skis: separate ski insurance recommended. Never store: expensive helmets with electronics (Bluetooth audio), expensive touring bindings, avalanche transceivers — take these to your hotel first.
Rental ski shops vs storage
Some ski rental shops (Rentaski, Skiset, Snowell in Europe; Christy Sports + Base Camp in NA) will hold your suitcase for free IF you rent gear from them. Rental for the week: €150-250. If storage cost approaches rental cost, just rent + get free storage. Radical Storage wins when you're bringing your own gear anyway.

Find storage in your cityFAQs
Can I store my skis at Radical Storage?
Yes — full-length ski bags (up to 200 cm) count as 1 piece at standard per-piece pricing. Snowboards too. Boot bags are separate pieces. Booking through the app: select "oversized item" for skis to ensure partner has capacity (some smaller partners can't handle ski-length bags).
Chamonix ski storage — where?
Chamonix Sud (near the Aiguille du Midi cable car) + Centre Ville have multiple Radical Storage partners at €9-12/piece/day. For weekend skiers arriving via Geneva Airport bus: drop as you arrive at Chamonix Sud bus stop, ski same day. Aiguille du Midi + Grands Montets tourist visitors also use Chamonix Sud drop while sightseeing (partner drops are open to non-skiers).
How much does ski luggage storage cost per week?
For a solo skier with 1 ski bag + 1 boot bag + 1 suitcase over 7 days = 3 pieces × $11 avg × 7 = $231. Actual math is usually cheaper: most skiers store on day 1 (before check-in), collect for hotel, then only use Radical Storage again on departure day. So actual storage need is 1-2 days, not 7. Realistic cost: $30-60/skier for a week trip.
What if my ski case is damaged during storage?
Radical Storage $3,000/piece insurance covers physical damage caused during storage. File a claim via the app within 48h of collection. Partner shops photograph bags at drop-off + require you to inspect at collection — take photos yourself on drop-off for your own records if the case is high-value.
