When you do get ready to spend money, take a look at the 206 with a
cargo pod (or 336/337 w/ pod if you want a twin). The pod will fit most
of the modern shaped skiis and up to 300# of the bulky, light outwear.
The pod is available after market; however, it is less expensive to buy
a plane that already has one. We take numerous family (5 people big and
small) ski trips every winter and the 206 fits the bill for most of
them.

The Pod is hard to beat, especially for skiers, and really sets the 206
apart from the crowd. The 300 ponies help when flying high and heavy.

The guys at ATG are saying that the're gonna offer a belly pod on the
Javelin that will attach to some hardpoints there... Should accept a few
pairs of skis to go with the 2 bags of golf clubs that fit in the
compartment behind the back seat... Anyone got an extra 2.5mil? ;-)
