Abstract
A ski equipment securement device having a body formed by a C-shaped member is adapted for removable engagement to a pair of snow skis and the poles used with the skis. A strap is engageable around the skis and to both ends of the body forming the C-shaped member to hold the skis adjacent and in a connection to the securement device. An opening in the body of the C-shaped member is sized to hold one or both ski poles and forms a handle to carry the engaged ski equipment.

A ski equipment securement apparatus, comprising:
- a substantially C-shaped member having a body, said body having a first member section and a second member section;
- said second member section extending from a first end of said body, to a curved area of said body;
- said first member section extending from said curved area to a distal end thereof;
- said body having an exterior surface opposite an interior surface;
- said interior surface defining an opening situated between said first member section and said second member section, said opening accessible through a passage located in-between said distal end of said first member section and said second member section;
- a strap, said strap in a connection at a first end thereof, with said first end of said body;
- a second end of said strap in a connection to a clip;
- a clip connector positioned at or adjacent said first end of said strap;
- a curved pathway extending upon said exterior surface of said body upon said first member section thereof and around said curved portion thereof and upon said second member section thereof;
- said clip positionable to a removable engagement with said clip connector;
- a side surface of said strap contacting said curved pathway with said clip in said removable engagement;
- a blocking portion of said strap positioned across said passage, with said clip in said removable engagement;
- said C-shaped member adapted for positioning to an engaged position thereof with at least one ski pole positioned within said opening, and with said clip in said removable engagement with said clip connector, to thereby hold said strap in an encircling contact thereof against exterior surfaces of a pair of skis, whereby a said pole within said opening is prevented from removal through said passage by said blocking portion of said strap, and is employable as a handle to carry said skis while said C-shaped member is in said engaged position.
