We are making our first ski trip traveling by air next month, and
after
going over United,s oversized baggage restrictions ,am wondering if it
is better to rent skis once we get to Canada or pay the extra fees.

Skis and golf clubs are exempted from United's baggage size
restriction. One ski bag or golf bag counts as one piece of checked
luggage, and you won't be charged extra.


How about this. Why don't you just bring your boots and rent skis.

Nothing worse than lugging your skis through airports.... Last time I did
that, CO lost my skis on a non-stop flight Denver to Durango (Telluride...)
The skis finally showed up as I was checking out of the hotel. I got the
pleasure of lugging without the pleasure of skiing. Now, I do exactly as
the man says... Bring my boots, rent my skis....
