Abstract
A device for preventing the overcrossing of skis worn by a skier which includes a locking member pivotally mounted on a base plate secured to a ski, the locking member being yieldingly urged in one direction into an upstanding position against a stop on the base plate by a spring to form a barrier against overcrossing by an adjacent ski, the locking member being pivotally movable in the opposite direction against the force of the spring to release an overcrossed ski and disengageable from the stop for pivotal movement in the one direction into an overlying, storage position on the ski.
