ABSTRACT:
A light weight carrier system primarily for use in carrying skis and/or poles on the user's back between the shoulders. The carrier system 2 includes a plaint back body portion 4 including a top holding strap 6 and a bottom holding strap 8, each with a closure means. A pair of shoulder harness straps 14 and 16 are each attached to opposite side edges of body portion 4. In use, carrier 2 is placed horizontally and open on a substantially flat surface with straps 6 and 8 on top and accessible. A pair of skis 32, having toe binding 34 and heel binding 36, and and/or a pair of ski poles 38, are then placed on reinforcing strip 26 of body portion 4 between straps 6 and 8 with, for example, toe portion 34 of the binding above strap 6 and heel portion 36 ofthe binding above strap 8. Straps 6 and 8 are then secured tightly around the skis and/or poles and the entire carrier system lifted and placed on the user's back and between the shoulders, preferably at an oblique vertical, angle by means of harness straps 14 and 16. In preferred embodiments the ski carrier system is convertible to a waist belt when it is not being used as a carrier. In one preferred embodiment a belted pack 42 is combined with carrier 2 into which pack the carrier may be placed when not being used as a carrier.
