Abstract: A device for carrying snow skis wherein a ski tip receiver is permanently secured at the upper surface of a snow ski defining a tapered cylindrical space sized to receive and grip a ski pole tip and oriented to permanently align the cylindrical space perpendicular to the length to the ski such that when a ski pole tip is inserted into the cylindrical space, the ski pole will be disposed perpendicular to the length of the ski. The invention permits skis to be carried by inserting a ski pole tip in each ski tip receiver, hoisting the ski poles on a skier's shoulder to align the skis vertically along, and spaced from, the back of the skier, and secure and steady the skis by gripping the ski poles with a hand.
