Abstract: This Releasable Ski Tip Coupler interconnects a pair of skis, especially snow skis, in order to maintain proper spacing of the tips of the skis for training inexperienced skiers, especially children. The coupler allows the user to vary the separation of the tails of the skis without danger of a fall caused by crossing of the ski tips. The coupler comprises two sets of straps, one set to encompass each of the right and left skis. One strap from each set engages an aperture provided near the tip of each ski, while other straps may serve to secure the aperture-engaging strap from disconnecting during use. The two sets of straps are joined to one another by a releasable buckle to allow quick separation of the two skis when desired. Straps and buckle are sized to maintain proper spacing of the ski tips for the trainee.
