Abstract: A ski tying band for binding a pair of skis together in running base to running base relationship for ease in carrying and transporting the skis is comprised of a strap having a loop at one end to be slipped over one end of one ski and a tail to be wrapped around the remaining ski and brought back into engagement with the loop, and cooperative fasteners preferably of the hook and loop fabric type, on the engaging surfaces of the loop and tail for securing the strap about the two skis and binding the skis together with one ply of the loop disposed between and separating the running bases of the skis, thereby to protect the running bases one from the other. Two bands are preferably used, one adjacent each of the opposite ends of the skis to firmly bind them together.
