Abstract: An apparatus is described for tying together ski poles and skis into a compact package that can be stably carried not only with the poles and skis horizontal, but also when they extend vertically. The tie has a middle (44, FIG. 4), a pair of pole strip end portions (40, 42) extending from one part of the middle for wrapping about a pair of ski poles, and a pair of ski strip end portions (46, 48) extending from an opposite part of the middle for wrapping about a pair of skis. Velcro-type fasteners lie on the outer side of a first end portion and on the inner side of a second end portion of each pair to hold the pair of strips together when wrapped about poles or skis. Each strip end portion is long enough to wrap by an angle (82, 84) of substantially 180.degree. about the poles or skis, and the inner surface of one of the strip end portions is formed of a soft rubbery material (56).
