I made a strap for my cross-country skis so I could bike to the ski trails near my house. It works very well and stays in place. The bottom of the skis stay in the air away from the bike when I'm bent over holding the handle bars and riding.








This is pretty simple. I basically used an old piece of retired climbing webbing, some old bear bag string, a bit of Gorilla tape and a couple of old carabiners.







I made some loops out of some bear bag string and used Gorilla tape to attach them to the poles. Then I grabbed an old carabiner to connect the webbing to the loops. The carabiner in the center is so I could fine tune the length of the strap and easily disconnect it when I want to take the skis off.





The pole straps slide over the top of the skis to hold the pair together.





The ski poles I bought have a slot on the bottom large enough to slide the ski through but only to a certain point. At the point they are at in the photo they will slide no further because the skis are too wide. You might not have the same type of poles that will allow this but I'd be willing to be you could make something that would work.


You could probably put loops on the bottom of the ski poles first. Then make a strap that connects to the loops that has a loop that is large enough to get both skis through but make it so the loop is only wide enough to slide up as far as my poles go.
