I have trouble fitting my boot bag either in the overhead or under the seat when I fly smaller planes (EA175, CRJ200/700/900, etc). Unfortunately, other than DEN and SLC, most of my ski flights (RNO, YYC, JAC, BZN, ASE, GJT, GEG) are on these small planes. I have a transpack heated bag and a Dakine 50L boot bag. I've never had to gate check them, though. If it's an issue, I just pull my boots out of the bag and go all Tetris on the overhead.
1) No issues carrying on Transpak (the triangular one) - I think airlines won't hassle you on trips to ski places.
2) Doesn't fit particuarly well in overhead with boots, helmet, and other gear - it's the wrong shape - on mainline aircraft. If I'm flying an RJ and can gate check I'm not worried about it - I can see my bag go in and it will come out the other end. Not like checking from my orginating point.
