ABSTRACT:
A system for mounting climbing fabric to a ski is described. A climbing fabric tensioner is attached to the front end of the climbing fabric by a tensioning cord. The climbing fabric tensioner is retained by a bracket attached to a top surface of a toe of the ski. A heel lock is attached to a rear end of the climbing fabric. The heel lock engages a boss in a top surface of the heel of the ski to lock the rear end of the climbing fabric to the ski. At least one Z-shaped bracket is attached to the underside of the climbing fabric between the heel lock and the climbing fabric tensioner. The Z-shaped brackets have upturned and inturned ends which engage opposite sides of the ski when the climbing fabric is mounted on the ski, to prevent the climbing fabric from sliding laterally from under the ski. The advantage is a light-weight system for mounting climbing fabric to skis which permits mounting to be accomplished in seconds and provides a secure mounting which prevents the climbing fabric from sliding from under the skis. A further advantage is that the system folds into a very small, light-weight bundle which can be stored in a pocket when not in use.
