Abstract
Disclosed is a ski cover that is configured for rapid and simple coverage of a ski or pair of skis and readily adaptable to cover skis of various lengths. Cover (10) comprises an elongate first sleeve (12) having a closed end (22) and an open end (24). The first sleeve is adapted to slide over one end of a ski (16) such that the closed end of the sleeve is adjacent the tip (44) of the ski. Also included is an elongate second sleeve (14) having a closed end (32) and an open end (34). The second sleeve is similarly adapted to slide over the other end of the ski such that its closed end is adjacent the heel (46) of the ski. A portion of the open end of one sleeve is overlapped by a portion of the open end of the other sleeve when the first and second sleeves are slid over the respective ends of the ski. A closeable slit (48) is incorporated into the overlapped sleeve in order to facilitate positioning the two sleeves in the overlapping arrangement. A quick-release adjustable length strap (18) is interconnected between the first and second sleeves in order to secure those sleeves in position to completely cover the ski. The strap includes an integrally formed handle (20) for carrying the covered ski.
