Abstract: An improved ski rack and carrier for transporting skis and ski poles. A vehicle roof rack is secured to the automobile and receives a removable carrier which supports and retains multiple sets of skis and ski poles. The ski carrier has two pairs of pivotal arms which pivot around a central frame member with the skis and ski poles retained between the pivotal members and the central frame member. There is a locking end member which secures the pivotal arms to each other and to the roof rack and is adaptable to lock the ski carrier separate and apart from the roof rack.
