It depends. You can bring your skis and count them as one of your two allowed checked bags and will not be charged but if you have more gear than you might have to pay a small amount. My dad works for united and said that it shouldn't be very pricey.

I just checked skis on United a week ago. $15 for each bag checked and it has to be under 50lbs or else your fucked with a $225 fee.
