I generally fly Southwest and have traveled with my snowboard and they have never charged me extra. Even an airline that does charge, you are generally better off checking them and paying than you are shipping them. Just make sure you have a ski bag.
I found this on Delta`s website:
Quote:
Ski and snowboard equipment are accepted as checked baggage. An 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 50 pounds or excess baggage fees will apply. The outside linear dimensions may exceed 80 inches and no excess baggage fees will apply.
