Ski locking device

A ski locking device for securing a first snow ski and a second snow ski, each ski being equipped with a snow brake, the ski locking device comprising:

• a housing having a front portion and a rear portion;
• at least one lockable closure member having a cuff and extending from the housing so that the rear portion of the housing faces a first edge of a first ski and a second edge of the second ski and where the lockable closure member comprises:
• (i) a first ratchet cuff with indentations, the first ratchet cuff being configured to be pivotable about a pivot point;
• (ii) a first ratchet mechanism;
• wherein the first ratchet mechanism comprises a first tooth located at a lower part of the housing;
• when the lockable closure member is in the closed position, the first ratchet mechanism is configured to engage with an indentation on the first ratchet cuff, to lock the lockable closure member;
• and
• when the ski locking device is locked, the first tooth is operable to lock into position in contact with one of the indentations on the first ratchet cuff, thereby preventing further movement of the first ratchet cuff;
• and
• wherein the housing and the lockable closure member are configured such that, when the ski locking device is in a closed position with a slide surface of the first ski facing a slide surface of the second ski, the lockable closure member encloses the snow brakes at their crossing point for locking the lockable closure member to the first ski and the second ski.
