True, But I've never found that to be a serious problem. I've carried mine on to
airplanes and stowed them in the overhead racks. I've never tried shipping it
with my baggage, but I see far longer skis at airport baggage carousels all the
time.

To check poles for domestic or international flights, collapse and insert them in a sturdy poster tube. The one available at the post office is a perfect size for Lekis if one goes in "head first."
