Abstract
A compact, lightweight foldable ski equipment and accessory carrier made from a soft flexible panel. In the carrying position, the panel folds to form two opposing walls which define a central storage area for skis and poles. Resealable straps are provided in the central storage area that hold the skis and poles in place with hook and loop material. The outside of the device has an additional set of boot retaining straps which hold ski boots securely. The boot retaining straps also use hook and loop material to secure the boots to the carrier. Integral resealable pockets are provided on the outer surface of the carrier to hold other items such as ski clothing, sunglasses, wallets, etc. A handle strap is provided to allow convenient carrying of the carrier device. In the closed position, the carrier walls fold such that the straps are enclosed within the carrier and the carrier forms a flat package for storage which is held in the closed position by hook and loop material.
