Baggage rules for skis

[Art Matz]

I have a ski trip in December using Delta. Delta has the one bag rule now.

For Skis, there rules state:
------------------------------------------
"Ski or Snowboard Equipment: One item of ski or snowboard equipment is
accepted as part of your free checked baggage allowance.

One item of ski or snowboard equipment is defined as:

One ski/pole bag or one snowboard bag, and
One boot bag
The combined weight of the ski/snowboard bag and the boot bag may not exceed
50lbs or excess baggage charges will apply. The maximum outside linear
dimensions may exceed 80 inches, and no excess size charges apply."
-------------------------------------------

Does anyone know when they say "is accepted as *part* of", does that mean
that I am allowed to check 1 bag (non ski related), plus one ski bag plus
the boot bag all for my free allowance?

I'm sure they mean that the ski bag is included as your 1 checked bag. The
linear mumbo jumbo is for other bags. If you want clothes you either hand
carry a bag or cough up the $25. If they do charge extra for the ski bag
you're up a creek , because the fuel prices are subtracting seats and
competition.
