A dual-purpose device that can be used to both carry a pair of skis and be used to lock skis. The device has a main line with looped ends, and a second line attached to a midsection of the main line having one exterior looped end. One of the looped ends of the main line is slipped over a pair of skis behind a foot support, and second line is wrapped about the skis and the other looped end of the main line is passed through the second line exterior loop, and can be draped over a shoulder of a user and held by a user's hand like a handle. Moving the handle raises and lowers the position of the skis. The skis are supported in a vertical position behind and separated from the user's back where the main line further acts as a cushion between the user's back and the skis. An adjustably positioned shoulder pad can be used to further cushion the main line from the user's shoulder. The device can be similarly used as a lock where instead of being draped over a shoulder the same looped end is wrapped about a ski rack, or pole and fastened to the second line's exterior looped end with a padlock.

1. A carrying device for holding on shoulders of skiers while keeping the skis away from the skiers' backs, comprising in combination:a main line having a first fixed looped end and a second fixed looped end opposite to the first looped end; a second line having a first end being fixably attached to a mid-section of the main line approximately midway between the first looped end and the second looped end, the second line having an exterior looped end opposite to the first end; and a pair of skis stacked side by side to one another, the skis having a rear end adjacent to foot bindings and an upper tip end opposite the rear end, wherein the second looped end of the main line is slipped over the rear end of the pair of the skis behind the foot bindings and the second line is wrapped about the pair of the skis above the foot bindings with the first looped end of the main line passing through the exterior looped end of the second line so that a carrier-user using the carrying device allows for a portion of the main line adjacent to the first looped end to rest on and be supported by a shoulder of the carrier-user, and the device is held in place by a hand of the carrier-user holding the first looped end as a handle while the pair of the skis is supported in a vertical position behind and separated away from a back of the carrier-user, wherein the main line forms a cushion between the skis and the back of the carrier-user.
