Abstract
Abstract A holder for attaching a ski having a binding including a ski-stopper to a stationary support comprises a ski boot dummy to be inserted into the ski binding while retracting the ski stopper mechanism. A holder part has means for attachment to the stationary support, and means for removably securing said dummy to said holder part. The holder can hold the ski in a first position, with the bottom side of the ski up, and second and third positions with either of the ski side edges up, thus permitting preparation of the running surface (waxing, etc.) as well as both side edges (sharpening, etc.).
