@Phil 123, I do it every time. At least twice a year. We use Sportube 2’s which are pretty obviously made fir 2 sets of skis. Never had a problem and never even been asked what’s in them. You will be fine!

We did this before Christmas weight is 20kg and states skis and boots. Each ski bag we put in was just shy of 15kg inc skis ans poles, plus on pair of boots to go with each bag. On way out we were asked if they could checked the boot bags (we had this on way out previous time from Bournemouth) they apparently need to check a selection of them. No idea what they were looking for, it wasn't exaclty a thorough look, and we had to sign thet had done so. Havent yet been asked about the ski bags

Always, record is four pairs I think but included a kids pair and took the bindings off to get the ski bag under the weight, and to get the skis to fit easier.
Done this several times on both BA & EJ. No issues as long as the bag met their allowed dimensions.

Lots of threads on this subject. The most convincing reason given for this policy was to limit the airline’s liability. If the bag is lost you can only claim for one set of skis.

@daintybulldog, just sometimes they do. I've been asked to put my ski bag on the weighing machine occasionally.

@achilles, never even heard of anyones ski bag being checked to see how many sets of skis are in it. Most airlines do indeed weigh it though which is a completely different thing. So long as you are under the weight allowance you will be fine.

Reading the description

They don't say pet set of skis. Both snowboards and skis are written in the plural and the constraint is weight.
If I am ever challenged, this is exactly what I will point to but we have flown with skis bags and boots twice now. Everything has been weighed I believe (nb possible they didn't actually check the weight when putting label on at bag drop).

yes,
skis & board in coffin bag. One ski in each saloppetes leg & board inside jacket for some protection.
I should have got a splitboard a few years back. I wont get the use now.

Only ever seen checks once can't remember which airline though.
Where you may have an issue is when they go astray.
We have had this happen with a TO trip. While they happily provided hire skis until ours arrived it was one pair per ski carriage booked.
One unhappy bunny that had packed a fair bit of their ski gear in the ski bag (not us).

Shouldn’t the jacket and the salopettes get some protection from the skis/board rather than them protect the skis/board. I’ve had ski edges slice through the ski bag material, which is tougher that my clothing, so wouldn’t like those edges against ski clothes.
Anyway too many eggs in one basket. Skis go into ski bag, if lost the airline can pay for the rental. Jacket on me, salopettes and boots into hand luggage, and where possible othe ski accessories.

@achilles, my ski bag is weighed every time at check in, it's part of issuing the tag and is also fundamental to the compensation paid if the bag is lost.
So weighed every time but never been checked for what's in it.

You know it makes sense.

I recently had my ski bag opened at the oversize luggage area in Vancouver (nowt but a single pair of skis although BA don't care) and inspected for contraband. Then they did a sniffer test and it beeped with traces of explosives.  Dunno if that was from the extensive blasting that was going on while I was in Whistler or some by-product of my end-of-trip wax and service (snow cover in places had been somewhat thin; looked like I had been doing gravel skiing). But then they just waved it through.

@dublin2, yes they will weigh them. Pretty much all airlines will weigh them, but never been asked to open them or what’s in them for that matter.
