What Are Ski Ties?

Guides · Ski Strap FAQS

Introduction.

Ski ties (often used interchangeably with ski straps) are simple, reusable bands that hold skis together for transport and storage. Most ski ties are made of polyurethane or similar materials and feature a hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure system.

Skiezy™ Performance Ski Straps, for example, are crafted with weather-tested 400lb-strength polyurethane for maximum reliability.

Key Functions of Ski Ties:

  • Prevent Base & Edge Damage: By keeping your skis securely aligned, ski ties reduce rubbing and scratching.

  • Make Carrying Easier: Bound skis are easier to hold, sling over the shoulder, or load into a car.

  • Improve Storage: Whether in a garage or gear room, ski ties keep skis neat, stacked, and safe.

  • Help With Identification: Some ski ties include space for names or branding, great for group trips or ski schools.

  • Storage: Makes ski storage a breeze by protecting your skis all off-season.

How Do You Use Ski Ties?

Ski ties are placed around the tips and tails of your skis — or one near the bindings and one at the front.

Simply line up your skis base-to-base and wrap the strap around until it feels secure. You want a snug fit without over-tightening.

  • Emergency repairs

  • Labeling rental equipment

  • Compressing soft goods like jackets or tarps

Why Skiezy™ Ski Ties Stand Out

  • 400lb-strength polyurethane

Final Thought: Small Tool, Big Value

Ski ties may seem like a simple accessory, but they make a major difference in how you protect, carry, and store your skis.

Whether you’re navigating a crowded lodge or storing gear in your garage, ski ties deliver reliable performance every time.
