Heated Ski Boot Transport & Mercedes Cabin Protocol
Putting on freezing-cold ski boots ruins morning first tracks. Here is how we protect your equipment:
Our Mercedes-Benz V-Class cabins include 12V DC power ports to plug in your heated boot bag (Drysure, Lenz, Sidas, Therm-ic) so your boot liners stay warm and pliable during transfer.
All skis and snowboards travel flat on protective rubber dividers with zero metal-on-metal friction, preserving edge bevels and pristine topsheets.
Dedicated vertical and horizontal boot cargo spaces ensure zero weight is stacked on delicate alpine touring or race bindings.
Need an overnight stone grind or wax before morning? Your chauffeur can drop your equipment at our trusted resort partner ski shop on arrival.
