You have to be a seriously skilled skier to travel with skis.
I travel with my own helmet and boots, because that makes for an enormous difference in comfort and fit (and wearing someone else's is kind of gross). But I don't even own a board and bindings. I do call ahead to rental shops to ask what equipment they have, but you can always at least rent last year's top of the line skis and snowboards.
Also, the key to avoiding crowds is to spend most of your time off piste.
