A ski carrier, comprising two similar unitary tong-like body members each having a handle at one end and a jaw at the opposite end, said members having an articulated connection on an axis located between the handle end and the jaw end, the handles being in abutting adjacency when in closed position

A ski carrier, comprising two similar unitary tong-like body members each having a handle at one end and a jaw at the opposite end, said members having an articulated connection on an axis located between the handle end and the jaw end, the handles being in abutting adjacency when in closed position and in angularly spaced relation when in open position, one of said body members having a continuously framed axially extensive opening at its region of said articulated connection, the region of said articulated connection of the other of said body members having between its articulation region and one of the ends of said other body member an axial extent which is of substantially the axial extent of the framed opening, the articulated connection of said body members being at both axial limits of the framed opening, each of the jaws having a ski-receiving cavity and the cavities of said jaws facing each other to define when in closed position a peripherally enclosed generally rectangular passage extending parallel to said axis and adapted to contain the combined central cross-section of a pair of skis in face-to-face relation when said body members are in closed position.
