Checking skis and boots
First timer on F9 in two weeks, returning DRO-DEN-SEA with a ski bag, a boot bag, and a carry on. (On AS connecting to UA outbound.)

My boot bag is a large, rolling duffel - it holds boots as well as my clothes, etc.

How strict is F9 with the skis + boots in a boot bag = one item rule?

Ordinarily, when flying to ski, I fly AS/QX w/ status (or WN) and check whatever. But my thinking is: can I get away with padding my skis with my ski clothes in the ski bag, and putting the boots alone into the now-larger-than-purely-necessary boot bag?
