The easiest way I found to carry my skiis was to strap them together using a velcro strap. All those Ski Totes and ski bags are so cumbersome. With the blades you just clip them together and put them over your shoulder.

I've used them on double diamond slopes and choppy ice with no problems. ONe thing I like about them is they are very portable. While other people are struggling with their long skiis, I just strap mine together and toss them over my shoulder.
Other thing I like is sitting on a chair lift they do not weigh so much so it's easier on the joints. Heavy skiis tend to make my knees hurt with chair lifts that do not have a place to rest your feet.
