Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Handy ski carriers ?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hey snowheads,

I tried to recommend this handy ski carrier
But my posted got deleted - maybe I should have put it in the equipment forum ?
It really handy for carrying heavy skis about town.
And also on the bus around Les Gets.

What other types of ski carriers do you guys recommend ?
No serious skier should be with out one snowHead
A simple invention like this makes life so much easier!

I found mine really useful - it means your hands are free which is fab.
A ski carrier is maybe not for everyone - but I thought it was quite cool and practical too Cool

I am hoping to get into a little back country this year - and thought it might be useful for climbing up to some powder near the pistes ? snowHead

cathy, no, I've gone right off spam recently, but it seems that trolls keep delivering it by the bucketload.

On the plus side, the company is easy to research, and seems to be operated by Paul Edward Toleman (aged 55) with his wife Amanda as a partner, and presumably from their home address in the Knutsford area, where they live with their adult daughters Annabel L and Sarah V Toleman, who are aged about 19-24, and still registered to vote at their home address. Paul Edward Toleman has a patent on his device, WO/2003/037454, filed via Wilson Gunn McCaw in Manchester, which probably cost a fair bit as it covers a large number of territories.

ph, in the original spam, the truth about skiing is all too clear - if you are young, and female, some guy will come along and offer to carry one (Puzzled) of your skis for you, while if you are an aging peroxide blonde in 1970s cast-off ski gear, you can carry your own bloody skis... NehNeh

ousekjarr, I am fairly confident that yag_si_HS is not 'Paul Edward Toleman' and that posting personal details of the aforementioned Mr Toleman, whether it appears in the public domain or not, is a little unnecessary.....

I am, however, happy to stand corrected on this, but prefereably by someone who knows what they are talking about

I notice that the couple in the first picture can only afford one ski each, so won't need to invest in such a contrivance.

Anyway just snowboard instead, you only have one thing to carry and it's conveniently fitted with 2 handles on the heel edge.

Despite the obvious pork based luncheon meat - I bought a couple at the Ski Show last year.

Useful for the kids to carry their stuff as it keeps it all together rather than skis and poles making a break for it! Also use them to wrap around all our skis when at lunch etc, as stops the "accidental" walking off with them

The Voice of Reason, it was one possibility, and the most likely at that time. Now I just think he's a wind-up merchant, and after the first warning to him (see his signature...) I'm surprised his account has lasted this long. Mods: Why is that exactly?

This is where your argument falls apart. There is no such thing as a sensible discussion about ski carriers. They are useless, worthless and gay.

Buying Ski Carriers is a waste of time. I used my old Babybjorn baby carrier like this and adapted it so that it could hold my skis and act as a rucksack.

I'm amazed there's a patent for that thing, it seems awfully like www.skistrap.co.uk which i've had for a few years and found okay when needed.
Apologies for replying to an obvious troll and of course to parlor for being such a gay. I assume a big hunk of a fella like parlor has no problem carrying a pair of skis, poles and a screaming child.

fatbob, no children were used in the filming of that TR. We used "small people" at dressed them as kiddies.

betterinblack, I'm sure there are many instances when having ones hands free is deal with unruly children. Physical violence is not always best.

I've heard people who can't afford ski butlers should breed more children and train them to carry your ski equipment.

My skis go in a bag with a big handle. Still blimming awkward to carry but helps for those unavoidable instances like getting skis from house to car and car to airport terminal, then from hotel to equipment lockers and vice versa. Other than that I avoid carrying skis as much as possible.

The rest of us were well aware of that before the post you objected to here - which is why most of the responses to your post were disagreeing with you.

He is almost certainly a sock puppet of one of the regular posters.

Probably because he has done as asked and not put it back.

I never saw the original signature, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was an over reaction too.

I think tath is true of most of us.

But if my accommodation is within about 5-8 minutes or so of the nearest lift, I will tend to walk rather than waiting for a ski bus, and then I do find it comes in useful. (I don't have the same model as shown above, but it is basically similar).

I can't understand why those who choose not to use them themselves are so against them in this thread.
