A single attachment member has first and second co-operating arm members mounted on said base portion and extending upwardly from the ski member with first and second opposed gripping members mounted on the first and second arm members, respectively. The first and second gripping members are shaped and dimensioned so as to engage the hub portion of the wheel.
