Abstract:
A fanny-pack with a shoulder harness allowing a skier to securely, comfortably, and with hands free, carry and transport, to and from ski lifts, skis, poles, and ski accessories. The basic ski carrier comprises a carrier worn around the waist and below the small of the back in combination with a shoulder harness assembly. The skis and poles are mounted rigidly to a locator on the carrier and secured at the top via a quick release strap on the shoulder harness. The entire carrier is lifted, secured around the waist, and the shoulder straps slipped on and adjusted. In this configuration the skis and poles are positioned at a precise angle safely away from making contact with the skier's head and legs while standing or walking. In the preferred embodiment the personal ski carrier is combined with pockets on either side to facilitate carrying essential ski accessories such as goggles, gloves, etc.
