Below is our recent interview with with Nick Coleman, from Ship Skis:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to Ship Skis?
A: Ship Skis is the world’s premier ski and luggage shipping provider. As a company founded by skiers, we know first-hand how much of a hassle it can be traveling with your snow gear. Since our inception, we’ve helped our customers ship their equipment to some of the finest Ski Resorts and Hotels around the globe.

Q: Tell us more about your history. How did you start?
A: Ship Skis was founded in 2014. We knew that the ski industry needed a solution similar to our partner brand, Ship Sticks for golfers. Which is how Ship Skis was created. Traveling by yourself usually involves bringing 3 different bags. People traveling with their families are really faced with logistics complications. Ship Skis has helped thousands of skiers and snowboarders travel hassle-free across the globe to their favorite winter destinations.
Q: How Ship Skis works? Is it complicated?
A: The Ship Skis service is pretty easy. You simply schedule your shipment online at ShipSkis.com. Select the type of bags you would like to ship (skis, snowboard, boot bag and/or luggage), and select your shipping dates. From there, a pickup is scheduled at the address of origin so you don’t have to worry about lugging them to a drop-off location unless of course, this option is more favorable for you. On your scheduled shipping date, you’ll print and attach your shipping labels, and ensure your bags are readily available for the driver. Once picked up you’ll receive real-time tracking updates as your bags head to their final destination. Ship Skis also has a dedicated tracking team to ensure your bags arrive safely and on-time. With your extra time you gained from not waiting at baggage claim, you can spend more time on the slopes.
Q: What are your clients saying about you? Are they happy?
A: Our customers love our hassle-free service. They won’t ever travel with their ski and snowboard gear again through the airport or in the car. Our customers are able to enjoy more time on their trip rather than stressing about their gear getting damaged or not arriving at their final destination. They can’t get enough of our friendly customer service team who is always eager to help.
We had a really good experience with Ship Skis. They helped us get our skis to Beaver Creek and back with excellent service, responsible staff were great to work with. A company with a conscience and we will use them again.
We were thrilled with Ship Skis service. Fast, efficient and it beat the heck out of carrying our gear through airports, trains, and funiculars. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Customer service was excellent.
We all left Colorado and went to Klosters, from there some of the group went back home while others went to Zermatt. Ship Skis team was able to handle multi-leg travel destinations with many different individual itineraries with no issues whatsoever. It alleviated the stress of airport travel and allowed us to really enjoy every aspect of our vacation.
This is my 3rd or 4th time using ShipSkis. What a great company and great service. I cannot imagine why everyone would not use this. Incredibly fair pricing and zero grief and aggravation. Very rarely leave reviews but this company is AWESOME.

Q: What type of customer would benefit the most from your service?
A: An avid skier or snowboarder who enjoys spending more time on the slopes and less time waiting at baggage claim. These people travel anywhere from 1-5+ times a year. Families benefit as well due to the amount of gear they need. An average family is about 5 individuals. Factor in, a set of skis and a snowboard for the parents, along with each kid having one of those. Now, they need to pack their boots, heavy ski jackets, and snow pants along with other needed essentials when not on the slopes. This alone can be 3 bags per person that they are checking with the airlines. We see a lot of our returning customers fall into one of these categories.
