Abstract
Abstract A convertible carrier for skis and ski boots is in the form of a strap with a pair of buckles for forming adjustable size loops at opposite ends of the strap connected by a central portion of the strap forming a handle. The loops can be tightened around a pair of back-to-back skis in spaced positions along the length of the skis so that the skis are slung from the central portion of the carrier. Alternatively, the loops can be tightened around respective ski boots and fastened together by a suitable fastener which is provided with the strap so as to form a convenient carrier for the boots.
