ABSTRACT:
A paired, sporting, ski-steering device for use with a pair of skis with the skier's feet locked in position by standard ski bindings, providing the skier with an upright handlebar for each ski, both skis being totally independent from one another. The handlebars are attached to the front of each ski at mid-position between the toe piece of the standard ski binding and the front tip of the ski. The handlebars telescopically adjust in height so when retracted to a short length they reach vertically from approximately the knee to the mid-thigh of the skier so he/she can use this ski steering device in a tucked-in position; when extended, these handlebars are easily and manually detachable from the skis and instantly become a full length ski pole adjustable to the skier's height and comfort. Various locking devices to readily lock/unlock these handlebars to the skis are described. The length adjustment of these handlebars is maintained/changed via a simple series of vertically aligned perforations in the telescopically fitting sections of the handlebars and a locking spring-loaded push button.
