Abstract
A novel ski-mounting stabilizer for the sole purpose of holding a snow ski in a stationary position relative to the snow surface, and to provide a proper lateral alignment between the ski-binding mechanism and the ski boot, until the ski mounting operation is completed, and including a rigid receptacle which is attached to the upper side of a snow ski to receive the lower ends of a conventional ski pole, in the establishment of a rigid engagement between a ski and ski pole, for the sole purpose of holding the ski in a stationary position relative to the snow surface, and to provide a proper alignment between the ski-binding mechanism and the under side of the ski-boot until the ski mounting and step-in operation is completed.
