ABSTRACT:
A combined unit fastenable on a vertical support such as two adjacent wall studs, 16 inch center to center, or any solid wall to hold or store any two various, in size and nature, pairs of skis and ski poles during and or off ski season in the best possible position so that skis will be off the floor and locked in place, to maintain their manufactured camber by means of two supporting members, at their tips and ends, with the least outward projection of skis' bindings.
This system has an upper and two lower members whereby hold two pairs of skis by placing the skis sideways along their edges in bottom- to-bottom facing arrangement, in a cylindrical slot provided by the upper member and bringing them down and inserting the skis' ends into a pouch provided by the lower member. These two members are fastened onto a vertical support in a unique fashion so that they apply supportive force onto the skis' tips and the ends simultaneously. A stretchable elastic element attached to the upper member will be pulled and placed over the positioned skis afterward to lock them in place. The upper member also has two projecting cylindrical elements whereby two pairs of strapped or strapless ski poles may be securely hung.
