Luggage arrived later than 20 min in SLC, so I got 2500 miles for the boot bag - that incidentally does not apply to skis or oversized items, so it was a good thing I checked the boot bag separately. On the return from JAC they made me sign a limited release for the soft sided ski bag. When I arrived in LAS the skis took an eternity to arrive but I didn't get the 2500 miles because of oversized item.
