Trying to decide between the Medium or Small sizes - which would be large enough to carry a pair of size 28 ski boots, helmet, pair of ski gloves, goggles, ski pants, base layer top and bottom, and socks, and small enough to comply with airline carry on size requirements? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Definitely wouldn't go smaller than the Medium for what you describe above. I use one of my Mediums for ski/snowbrd gear all the time and it works well as long as you keep it to just the basics: helmet/boots/shell/capilene/gloves, etc and leave all the unnecessary stuff at home. Even fully-packed I use a Medium as a carry-on all the time, and have never had a problem or been challenged by the airlines. That said, as an average-size female, my gear does not 'cube out' as fast as others'--and since I can't tell your gender from your handle--if you are a guy (with larger gear ) the Large may prove a better fit for your purposes. For comparison purposes, have a also used my Large as a carry-on a number of times--but only when its not fully-packed. I short: don't get the Small. Medium can definitely be used as a carry-on. Large can often be used as a carry-on if its not over-stuffed. Hope this was helpful.
