Abstract
A ski device is provided for permitting a skier to ski on one ski with his other ski (or with his boot if he is not wearing a second ski) being supported in an elevated position and out of contact with the skiing surface. The present invention includes a generally L-shaped bracket having a first portion that is adapted to support either the skier's boot or the skier's ski that is not being used. A second portion of the bracket is coupled to the other ski of the pair or ski boot. The accessory aspect of the present invention can be interchangeably used with either leg of a skier. In one embodiment of the invention, the bracket is secured to a mounting member that is positioned on the ski. In another embodiment of the invention, the bracket is coupled to the boot of the ski that is being used, while in a third embodiment the bracket is mounted directly to the ski that is being used. The bracket may be mounted by means of spring clips, screws or other suitable fasteners.
