Light wheeled double ski bag?
Been using an old High Sierra which was nice and cheap. It has made it through 8 trips and is pretty beat up. I think it might make it to 10. We want a second bag so we each can bring 2 pairs of skis to Whistler over New Years:
Need a bag that:
LIGHT (don't need much padding)
Wheels
Fits a 186 + 192 and has room to cram in gear
Cheap and/or Durable
The High Sierra did that at <8lbs. Can't seem to find that model anymore
Our Packing style:
2 pairs of skis (usually 192 L138 or 190 W112 and either a 186 EHP or 178 W112)
Wrap the skins/clothes around the tips/tails/bindings
Cram in shovel, crampons, probe, poles, harness, and more gear/clothes to the weight limit.
Two pairs of boots+helmets go in the the other checked bag. I find that is a far better use of weight limits, results in far fewer bags, and is easier to move around with than the "one ski bag + one boot/helmet bag" counted as one luggage piece.

You can pack it with two pairs of skis, poles, gear, etc as you describe fine. With another bag for boots and helmets.
But... I normally pack it with one pair of skis laid flat side by side... Then I can fit my helment, boots, and all my stuff for a long weekend and only have to deal with one bag.
This. I love mine too. Fits my 202cm 138s with some 186 Renegades and a ton of other gear just fine. Comes in around 8lbs empty.
