Has anyone recently used Ryanair for their ski-ing break, wondering if they check ski bags to see if normal luggage (clothes etc) is in the ski bag, in addition to skis, boots, poles

Ryanair's terms and conditions;

'skis and large musical instruments including but not limited to harps, double bass and drums are inherently unsuitable for carriage by airlines operating fast turnarounds such as Ryanair. However, these items may be carried in the hold of the aircraft in addition to your personal checked baggage allowance up to a limit of 20 kilos per item upon payment of a discounted online fee of £40/€40 per item, per one way flight.'

I'm not entirely sure if this means ski bag = 1 item, boot bag = 1 item.. but the same rule applies - If your ski bag with poles and skis inside them and this counts as 1 item and is 15KG, you're allowed to add 5KG more weight with anything you please (so long as it's legal, of course ;))
Skiing: the art of catching cold and going broke while rapidly heading nowhere at great personal risk.

hmmm I thought I replied to this post in the morning but I can not see it now... I will try again
I used Ryanair to Milan last week packing 2 snowboard with bindings in one bag and then filling it up with loads of clothes. Mind the max is 20kg. No problem on the check in.
I also used them 3 times to Salzburg and everytime had one board + clothes and this was ok.
