Abstract
Ski holding apparatus is disclosed which comprises a rack for supporting a plurality of skis in a substantially common plane. The rack features pairs of holders arranged across the rack with the holders of each pair spaced apart along the rack so as to support at least one ski, or preferably a pair of skis at two spaced apart locations. The holders are adapted to support the skis in inclined positions in which the mean transverse plane of the skis is arranged at angle of 30.degree. to 60.degree. to said common plane. In this way the skis on the rack require less space. The rack can either be used on vehicle roofs, in ski rooms, or in storage spaces within vehicles. Each holder is conveniently closed by a closure member to retain the skis. Various types of closure are described in which the individual closures for each holder may be either resilient or rigid and may also be supported from a common clamping arm.
