Sorry kendub, it's all very clear on their website: "Sports Equipment* Fee charged per Item/ Per One Way Flight A maximum weight of 20kg per item"
It's per item. We are no longer in the days of simple ski carriage, I'm afraid. You are booking "SPORTS EQUIPMENT" not "ski carriage" and it's on a per-item basis, the same as their luggage. Boots go in your luggage and contribute to your weight allowance, I'm afraid. There is some debate about whether boots can go in hand luggage or not. I've seen people do it and others say you can't. Depends on who's checking on the day and what side of the bed they got out of, I suppose.
You can, according to customer services, put boots and skis in the same bag - a friend of mine checked. Not that I'm aware of any bags where this can be done, but I'm fine with my large snowboard bag where the board & boots fit in together... 
The answer is clear. Ditch the boots and learn to snowboard.

Helen Beaumont, So are mine but it's a 185cm bag and they just fit! This constant baggage rule changes is a pain, when will they start charging by person's weight???

I think this is just Ryanair policy. With Thomsonfly for example the £15 each way ski carriage charge includes a separate ski and boot bag and does not affect your 20kg luggage allowance.

Just had a flight to/from Salzberg with Ryanair and I payed for ONE Large Sports Equipment-took two pairs of ski in one ski bag (along with the rest of my gear and clothes!) and a separate boot bag (total weighing about 30kg) and accepted with no issues both ways. The boot bag does not cost extra. I also took another pair of ski boots in a bag on as hand luggage with no issues.

Just wear your ski boots, jobs a good'un!  seriously though, I'm sure i've seen combi bags out there somewhere, so you should be able to get skis, boots and holiday gear in.
Edit - just noticed this post is from 6 years ago

you can bring your boots on Ryanair as cabin luggage, once they are in a bag that is the correct size. You can also book on ski equipment under sports gear. Flying to memmengin with the family on Saturday we will bring our boots on board.

Since this subject has been discussed on numerous occasions previously, I will immediately confirm that many people have said on here that they have had no problems with placing boots in hand luggage. In the past, I have also done this. However, I can confirm that a few years ago one TO advised our group that it was no longer allowed for that trip and cited air-safety concerns. Furthermore, on an Easyjet flight from Southend-On-Sea to Geneva one of our group was stopped at the security search and made to return to the check-in desk, check-in his hand luggage containing boots, and pay £25. There appears to be no hard and fast rules covering all airlines and airports and the OP should maybe check first with his airline and airport before travelling.

@Mr Marmot,  hope that doesn't happen us, It is only last march since we flew with our boots in our bag. What is the safety issue with a pair of boots? I suppose you could hijack a plane by putting on your boots and threatening to kick a pilot ? No more dangerous than a bottle of vodka bought in duty free ? I often wonder about these rules? and was it just an over zealous security person that implemented it as it doesn't seem to be an airline problem.

I agree with you, I googled it, but found nothing on airport security about it, some airlines will, some won't but I think it is the individual airline that makes the choice, perhaps I didn't get the right wording in my google search. In the case of Ryanair though, if the boot bag is small enough, ie just one pair of boots , it will get on board. Unless they have changed it in recent months.
