Abstract:

A portable ski equipment carrier includes a ski holder section having a bottom and first and second vertical sides. A pair of skis are positioned edgewise on a rectangular foam pad attached to the bottom of the ski carrier section. A boot tree having a slotted upright column rigidly attached to a base has a pair of movable boot engaging elements and a pair of fixed boot engaging elements for engaging the respective heel and toe of a pair of ski boots. The rigid base of the boot tree is hingably attached to the first vertical side of the ski carrier section. The lower surface of the base of the boot tree and the upper surface of the bottom of the ski holder section have resilient layers attached thereto, which resilient layers press against the respective upper and lower edges of the skis. A locking device connects an unhinged edge of the base of the boot tree to the second vertical side of the ski carrier section. A handle is provided on top of the slotted upright column so that the portable ski equipment carrier can be easily carried in one hand by the user.
