Are heavy skis getting you down?

Heavy SkisA pocket-sized, lightweight device to help skiers who are sick of carrying heavy equipment around resorts has been launched by a Yorkshire-based company.

Portaski, the invention of Barnsley businessman Mike Johnston, carries up to 70% of the weight of skis in an easily-secured tray that can be used on roads, ice or snow.

He told OnTheSnow: “It all started when a friend of mine took his two kids on a skiing holiday and ended up carrying his own as well as both the kids’ skis and poles while slogging through the snow in his ski boots.”

Designed around a simple wheel-sled, the device can be used with skis of all kinds and is particularly valuable to those skiing with their children or whose accommodation is some distance from the slopes.

The Portaski can be purchased for £19.95, including postage and packaging.
