The side frames are opened to provide ski-locking means and a handle which may be integral with the hinge, and are recessed to allow positioning of skis and poles therebetween. Resilient surfaces in the recesses tightly engage the skis and poles. Locking members carried by the side frames telescope with respect to receiving members and may be locked thereto to prevent theft of the device and the skis and poles secured therein.
