Abstract
Abstract The invented device comprises a waist belt (20), two boot fasteners (24), and one ski fastener (30). The waist belt compreses a buckle (22) and a belt of adjustable length. The boot fastener is also a belt that can wrap around the calf support section of the boot and tie it up with self gripping fastener (28). The boot fastener is attached to the waist belt through a loop (26) or other comparable design. By a similar mechanism, the ski fastener can fasten a pair of skis in a vertical position from the waist to the front of the shoulder. The self gripping fastener is the preferred embodiment for fastening and unfastening the ski equipment.
