Abstract
A climbing device for skis has a member with a ski receiving aperture therethrough. The member has a deformed shape where the aperture can slidably fit over a tail end of the ski to a position rearwards of a binding on the ski. The member is resiliently biased away from the deformed shape towards a second shape where portions of the member about the aperture grip the ski to resist sliding of the device from the position towards the tail end of the ski. The member has a part projecting below the ski when the device is in the position. This part is shaped to project into snow below the ski.
Claims9
A climbing device for a ski comprising a member with two ski receiving apertures therethrough, the member having a deformed shape where the apertures are sufficiently aligned to permit the member to slidably fit over a tail end of the ski to a position rearwards of a binding on the ski, the member being resiliently biased away from the deformed shape towards a second shape where the apertures are insufficiently aligned to permit the slidable fit and portions of the member about the aperture grip the ski to resist sliding of the device from said position towards the tail end of the ski, the member having a part projecting below the ski when the device is in said position, the part being shaped to project into snow below the ski.
