Abstract
This device is an aid for a downhill skier regain his upright stance after a fall. A socket or loop of fabric is attached at the tail of the skis such that the tips of the poles can be thrust through the loop and into the underlying snow. When the skier then pulls himself up by pushing down and back on the poles, the skis are held in place and the skier easily regains his upright stance.
