Skiing equipment is considered as one piece of regular baggage on Finnair, as long as it weighs less than 23 kg / 50 lbs, and is shorter than 220 cm.
The fee for skiing equipment depends on the baggage allowance of your ticket as well as how much other baggage you're taking with you. If your ticket includes a free checked baggage allowance, your ski bag can be substituted for a regular suitcase. If you are bringing a ski bag in addition to your free checked baggage allowance, you will have to pay an Excess Bag fee as if you were bringing an extra suitcase.

The maximum weight of one set of skiing equipment is 23 kg and the maximum length is 220 cm. Skiing equipment may comprise one ski or snowboard bag, and includes all related equipment, such as skis and poles. All these items count towards the total weight of your skiing equipment.
Ski or snowboard shoes may be packed in a separate shoe bag, but their weight still counts towards the total weight of your skiing equipment, which can be no more than 23 kg.
If your ski bag weighs more than 23 kg / 50 lbs (up to a maximum of 32 kg / 70 lbs), you will be charged Finnair's Heavy Bag fee, which depends on the origin/destination of your flight.

You can normally take skiing equipment without informing the airline ahead of time. However, if travelling in a group of ten or more people who will be taking skiing equipment, it is best to inform the airline ahead of time as space may be limited.
If bringing a ski bag in excess of your regular free checked baggage allowance, it is also better to add your ski bag to your reservation ahead of time, as it is cheaper to do so online, at least 1 week before departure, rather than paying a higher fee at the airport.
Finnair Plus Platinum and Gold members are allowed to carry one set of skiing equipment free of charge.
