I think tghat if you read the small print on the website there is a weight limit. However, we usually put x2 pairs of skis in one bag plus odd bits of clobber. Have never been stopped from doing so by Ryanair, easyjet or any other airline.
Have taken boots in hand luggage via Bergamo about 6 times without any problems - last time was April 08.

all airlines have a 32 kg weight limit due to H&S regulations, i believe, for a single bag, but I would suspect that Ryanair has its own limit a bit below the H&S maximum. bear in mind that technically you pay for the carraige of one set of skis and boots

Does this mean the ski carraige includes boots

kendub, for Easyjet they allow a ski bag and boot bag to be put in the hold within the fee you pay for ski carraige, not sure about Ryanair though

20kg limit for your main bag and 12kg extra for the ski bag if you pay the fee (if you have a double ski bag you can fit your boots in it (just) or I can anyway). Any more and you pay excess, up to a combined total of 50kg (32kg for the main bag), after which they refuse to take it. You used to be able to transfer part of your weight allowance to your ski bag from the main bag but I heard of a case recently when EasyJet enforced the 12kg ski bag limit. I'm not sure that they got their own rules right in that instance, but why risk it.

rayscoops, 15kg for the main bag on Ryanair, but there is no specified weight I can find for the skis. Also 10kg for hand baggage.

At Manchester on the 21st Dec, Thomas Cook were examining any ski bag they believed might contain anything other than one set of skis and poles (clothing also not allowed) and limited the ski bag weight to 7 KG !!! My previous skis (Rossi slaloms) weighed in at nearly 9KG's including their bindings.

moffatross, so was there also a boot bag allowed? 7kg is silly, how did they come to that number!

No, the boot bag was part of the standard 15KG allowance. No idea where they came up with the 7KG value for ski weight though and it wasn't mentioned by Neilson when booking. Anybody contravening (including us as Bro and me normally pool our skis into one bag) paid an extra £20 there and then or no carriage.

Sideshow_Bob ... Thanks, that's infuriating and I wish I'd known that at the time. Last Sunday a.m. I was even more p1ssed off as our group of 5 were a full 15 KG under our total overall luggage allowance including our boots. At 4.00 a.m. though, when none of us had slept since the previous morning, my brain was even less sharp than normal. I'm seeing bro. tomorrow, have emailed the URL to him and hope he's still got the receipt for the £20.
Edit ... looking at the wording, I think the 'per pair of skis' is going to scupper our argument but the twaddle given us by the Thomas Cook Airlines ground staff about 7KG was clearly misinformation.

FAQ
. I believe Ryanair only offer 12 kg for the hold bag these days 
and an extra 12 kg for the ski bag.
