Early Trip Prep

Things to be thinking about:

1. Luggage. Generally you are allowed ONE checked bag and ONE ski bag. You can only take ONE pair of skis in a bag. Checked bags are limited to 50 pounds without fee. Think light.

2. Passport (if non-U.S. trip). Make sure it's current. Make a photocopy and bring along in case of loss.

3. Credit Card (if non-U.S. trip). Many companies are charging extra 3% foreign purchase transaction fee. This is applied to every transaction. Some cards like Capital One waive this fee .. so may be time to pick up a new card.
