Skier ezup

Abstract

This device is an aid for a downhill skier regain his upright stance after a fall. A socket or loop of fabric is attached at the tail of the skis such that the tips of the poles can be thrust through the loop and into the underlying snow. When the skier then pulls himself up by pushing down and back on the poles, the skis are held in place and the skier easily regains his upright stance.

What I claim as my invention is:  
     
         1 . A socket device which is attached or built into the tail of a snow ski such that it can receive the tip of a ski pole, thereby anchoring the ski so that it does not slide away when the skier pushes on the pole to regain his stance.  
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1  can be attached or incorporated into the manufacture of the ski such that it has no effect on the running, turning, or other customary performance of the ski.
