My Greatest Invention So Far...

So usually I'm the one taking the two kids skiing by myself during the winter - especially the past two winters.  Typically I'm stuck carrying my skis and poles, Kendall's skis and Riley's poles.  Well now with us eating Gluten Free, I always wear my backpack with our lunch packed in it.  Talk about being weighed down!  I knew I needed something to change.

I had seen a kid at Brighton this winter carrying his skis like a sling with some type of contraption attached to either ends of the skis.  Of course, the light bulb goes on in my head.  Hey, that's a great idea!  I bet I can make them!  So I start to search the web for ideas.  I found a few companies who sell them for $20 or more.  Andy was very against me buying them for the kids with us moving.  That's when I decided to make them for us.

This is Riley modeling his ski carrier in the kitchen 

right after I made my first one!

Here is Kendall at Alta with hers.

Everybody who sees us with our ski carriers comments on what a great idea it is.  No kidding!  I have made a few for some friends here in Utah.  I don't often have great ideas, but I must say, this one was one of my best!  They fold right up and fit into their coat pockets so we have them no matter where we go!

If you know of anyone who wants one, please tell them to email me at schunko@aol.com and I'd be happy to make them for $10 each plus shipping if not local.
