Abstract: A leash arrangement attachable to the binding of a snow gliding device or directly to the device and having a leash tube extending up along the user's leg with a strap at the top to hold the leash tube at a position accessible to the user. A shock cord is threaded inside the leash tube. One end of the shock cord is attached to the binding or device and the other end has a handle which may be mounted by a snap to the leg strap. Upon sitting on a lift chair, the user pulls on the handle thereby elongating the shock cord. The handle is then placed under the thigh of the user to provide affirmative hoisting of the snow gliding device during the chair lift ride. If the user is wearing ridged high top boots, the leash tube may be eliminated and a hasp eye mounted on the leg strap as a guide for the shock cord. A folded deployable edge guard may be mounted on the shock cord between the hasp eye and the handle which rests under the shock cord as it engages the edge of the seat on the chair lift.
