Ski trip commandment #1: the most important thing to keep track of, besides your head, is your boots. Get the Swix Wheeled Boot Bag, put your boots in it, and handcuff it to your wrist. Everything else, you can rent, borrow, steal, or craft out of duct tape, but the custom-molded fit of your boots can never be replicated, even by a brand new pair. This Swix roller bag has a perfect little room made just for your boots, plus some space for accessories like gloves, goggles, a book and a water bottle. Use the retracting handle to roll it behind you, or throw it on your back with the dual backpack straps and sprint for your Air Alaska flight.

The first rule of Swix Club is: don't lose your boots.
