Helmet Heads
Pressure-tested on the gondola at Sunshine Village in Banff on the busiest ski day of the year, we’re all tied up in knots about our new Bowtie Ski Carriers. Our seven and five year old testers were pressed into service to carry their own skis, as the rest of the party was carrying bags, adult skis and a few toddlers to boot, and they handled (pun intended) them with aplomb. Not a complaint was heard as they carried their own skis for the very first time.
The simple carryall straps wrap around skis (and poles, if they’ve graduated to that level) and secure with Velcro, magically creating a carrying handle that can be easily adjusted for use as a back sling (think backpack over the shoulder, our fave position for little ones), arm sling (think purse, under the arm) or hand-carry handle (think suitcase-style). When you hit the slopes, just fold up the strap and put it in your pocket. Available in pink or blue for $17.95, they are definitely a worthwhile investment to keep the family peace.
Now, if only someone could invent a combo foot-warmer/nose-wiper, there’d be not a thing left to complain about.
