Moment makes a good ski bag with a separate compartment for boots, however it's a soft sided roller bag which in my travel experience isn't as good as a hard sided case like a sport tube.
That being said, I totally use a roller bag 90% of the time because I can pack basically everything in one. 2 Pairs of skis, poles, boots, jacket, pants, base layer and gloves. Where as a sport tube you're packing everything besides skis and poles in another bag so depending where you're going or for how long you might end with more luggage going the sport tube route.
Other roller bags that are cheaper if you're not planning on using it a ton - High sierra, Dakine, Line makes a roller bag, the L.L. Bean bag mentioned above looks very nice IMO. If you're looking to drop coin on a high quality bag because you'll be traveling a lot Moments bag is sweet and so is it Douchebags (I guess its Db now) roller bag.

Another suggestion, I use sportubes. They are she’s sided plastic and are basically bomb proof. They come in three sizes. A single tube, double tube and triple/snow board size. Each series sounds like they are 1 ski, 2 skis or 3. They are extendable depending on the length of the skis.
now you cannot fit boots. But your skis will always arrive flawless.
I get mine from Sierra. Well unde me msrp.
I have both a single and double tube

I have the Dakine 2 pair roller ski bag. It's fine for the price and does the job, but it's not super durable, so you won't want to use it a ton

You want to carry your boots on that way if your bag gets lost/damaged you can just rent skis.
I have the dakine fall line roller bag. You can fit a ton of stuff in there including boots if you want. Most airlines will include a boot bag and ski bag as one bag. The thing you need to worry about when loading up a bag with multiple pairs of skis, boots, padding, outerwear, etc., is weight getting over 50lbs or 20-25kg is pretty easy and you will pay dearly on most airlines for overweight bags.

It’s basically bomb proof man. You’re going to love it. Just got back from Breck with my double tube. Worked like a charm. Was 43lbs with two sets of moments and a set of poles.
