We are making our first ski trip traveling by air next month, and after

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.
