Ski and pole tote

A ski and ski pole tote for simultaneously hand carrying a pair of skis arranged in generally parallel and horizontal, longitudinally coextensive relationship and along their minor transverse axis in bottom-to-bottom facing relationship and with their major transverse axis extending upwardly and a pair of generally parallel ski poles each spaced about the same distance above the pair of skis along said major transverse axis in longitudinally coextensive relationship with said pair of skis comprising:

• a pair of U-shaped clasps for connecting the skis and poles to be spaced longitudinally along the skis and ski poles and each clasp including a base portion positioned to extend along said minor transverse axis below the pair of skis, a first leg connected to one end of said base portion and positioned to extend adjacent the top face of one of the skis along said major transverse axis, to the one of said poles closest to said one ski, said first leg including a portion spanning the vertical spatial distance adjacent said first leg between the uppermost edge of said one ski and the lowermost edge of said one pole, and a second leg connected to the other end of said base portion and positioned to extend adjacent the top face of the other of the skis along said major transverse axis, to the other of said poles closest to said other ski, said second leg including a portion spanning the vertical spatial distance adjacent said other leg between the uppermost edge of said other ski and the lowermost edge of said other pole, each of said legs terminating in a partially closed single loop positioned to extend partially over and about the pole adjacent thereto, whereby said skis and ski poles may be toted as an assembly by hand grasping said ski poles intermediate said clasps.
