Abstract A ski boot carrier which is also adapted to the carrying of skis. The carrier comprises a base runner adapted for gliding movement over ice or snow on the upper surface of which is mounted a boot bag or similar carrying case. A flexible strap or band is secured to the boot carrying case. This strap or band functions as a handle for the carrying case. It also functions as a means for securing skis which may be carried in back-to-back relation mounted on the top of the carrying case. In this manner the skis are used as a handle to guide the carrier as it is pulled over snow or ice.
