Yes and these items may be subject to oversize or overweight fees as well.


From the "oversized baggage fees" chart:

Oversized bags

Each bag greater than 62 in/157 cm will be subject to a fee. Total dimensions for checked bags may not exceed 80 in/203 cm (length + width + height).

Checked bag dimensions / Fee per bag
Less than 62 in/157 cm / Standard fee applies
62-80 in/157-203 cm / $100
Over 80 in/203 cm / Send via Sports Express or other commercial shipper


You'll probably be hard pressed to find adult skis that are less than 62" in overall dimension (L+H+W), so expect an oversize baggage fee.

Here's what I am wondering... Total bag dimension can't exceed 80"? Correct? If my ski bag measures 15 inches around and 65" long, then I'd be O.K. right?
