There are a couple of ways to take skis: one is to carry them over your shoulder, and the other is to carry them by hand.
Carrying Skis Over the Shoulder
- Positioning: The ski bindings should go behind your shoulder. This is the most effective way to carry skis and is often demonstrated in videos, like this one: How To Carry Skis InTheSnow - YouTube (Note: A specific video is referenced, but the actual video ID is not available).
- Stability: Make sure the skis are balanced on your shoulder to prevent them from slipping.
- Hands: Use your hands to lightly hold the skis in place, ensuring they are secure but not putting too much strain on your shoulder.
Carrying Skis By Hand
- Short Distances: If you are walking only short distances, you can simply grab the skis with your hand above the binding.
- Grip: Hold the skis firmly, ensuring they are secure.
- Avoid Obstructions: Be careful not to swing the skis around and accidentally hit other people or objects while walking.
