Abstract
A ski carrier has a strap with opposite end portions having overlapping ends formed into eyelets. Separable segments are brought through the eyelets to form ski carrying loops at toe and heel ends of outwardly facing bindings of skis aligned in tandem, back-to-back positions. After forming loops, segments are joined by mating male and female elements of a snapping fastener. Ski poles are brought through an opening of a tie loop attached to one element, and a spring-loaded barrel lock closes loop about the poles. Skis are carried by lifting carrier with the hand around fastener and poles. The lifting causes loops to self-tighten about the skis against the outward bias of the ski camber.
