I prefer to drag my skis over the street but it freaks my female skier friends out.

But my Surface skis are so light you can just carry them in your hand like a snowboard or like poles. They are about as light as my poles. Just about.

If I am hiking steep/icy stuff I hold in between my bindings with my skis apart and use them as poles. If I dont need the support I hold them as before but they just hang out by my sides. If it is a long uphill hike I put the skis together and rest them on my back/neck with the binding pieces on either side of my neck and i put both arms over the skis. If I am carrying alot or hiking downhill I just gold them together in one hand by my side.

^Haha what a pile of shit. Imagine taking all that up the mountain with you just so you can drag your skis about afterwards. Stick em on your shoulder and stop pissing about.

if I'm skiing no poles that day, I just hold each ski individually and grab from the middle of the ski in between the bindings. With poles, I usually have the skis connected via brake bindings and carry them on one hand and poles in the other.

I carry my skis between my legs. I just keep them pinched real tight so they don't fall. I throw a pole over each shoulder.

I have the tips in my right hand and then have the toe piece right behind my shoulder on the right so that it is hanging over my right shoulder...I have my poles the normal way you ski with them but I let the right one hang down from my skis...

if i am hiking backcountry then i put them on my backpack and use the poles like walking sticks. if i am hiking the park i put my poles behind a tree then hold them at the bindings and use them like poles. andif i am walking to the mountain i put the tips in one pole trap then the tails in the other, then carry them like a suitcase

Ahhaaahh that is funny stuff, who buys this shit

I would like to make a coffe table book on the many different gaper carry methods like:

The Texas Briefcase (Houston Handbag)

The Hobo (my favorite) both poles over one shoulder linking into both toe pieces like a hobo bag

The backpacker ( much like the Hobo but one pole on each shoulder)

The little Jimmy (arms crossed with shit scissored everywhere)

The Snowboard Lunchtray

And of course the Newschool Drag

i am surprised my thread actually has serious responses...

my question now:
whats so bad about the houston handbag?
if i have to walk a fucking mile to the car i will take the extra 30 seconds to rig that little system up, but i cinch down the straps way tight so it doesnt swing...

is it really that gaper of a maneuver?
