Abstract: An improved Ski-carrying device is described which comprises a pair of substantially parallel first and second plate elements, each element having an inward lateral extension at the one end, each extension adapted to support the side of a ski placed thereon. There are means to connect the first and second plate elements together in a substantially parallel arrangement and to permit the plate elements to move between an expandable open position whereby skis to be carried may be each placed on the lateral extensions of the respective plate elements and a contractable closed carrying position whereby skis are secured and compressed between the closed plate elements. There are means to lock the first and second plate elements in the closed carrying position.
