This is a great product if you find yourself lapping chutes and wanting to quickly throw your skis on the pack to boot up for another lap. They'll be more stable in an A frame for longer carries or when it's really windy, but for straight forward booting, the speed of the quick carry can't be beat. I also really admire that blue ice seems to have designed this for any pack, not just theirs. I've used it on two black diamond packs and now two blue ice packs and it worked on all of them. I've used them for boards up to 110, but the tail loops starts to get tight. They certainly work best for skis 95mm and under. For wider boards, if your pack has a cross carry option, it's often easier to only use the bungee clip from blue ice. Alternatively, you can zip tie the tail loop so you get some extra length that would have been lost in the girth hitch.
Find a place to clip the bungee when it's not on your skis or you'll lose it behind you. Not only does that negate the speed and ease of the system, but you also end up looking pretty stupid...speaking from personal experience.
Blue Ice Quick Ski Carry Kit
Do you find yourself envious of your friend's quick-carry ski system? Do you wake up night after night, worried that your pack isn't optimized to be as efficient as possible? Well, rest easy, Blue Ice has you covered with the Quick Ski Carry Kit. Inspired by skimo racing, this kit allows you to attach your skis to your pack without having to remove it. While not a necessity, this will save you time and hassle, which is especially welcome for quick booting sections. This style of carry also allows you to retrieve your skis without having to take your pack off, which is very welcome during steep transitions from booting to skiing. For a quick and practical way to carry skis, get the Quick Ski Carry Kit from Blue Ice.

Would this work with spliboard skis?

Hi Kell, it *might* work, but we doubt it would work well. First, because of the width and rocker of splitboard tails, it will be difficult to fit them through the bottom loop. Second, in speaking with one of my coworkers who rides split occasionally and whose partner splitboards full time, he mentioned that the speed hook style quick carry doesn't work as well as with skis and that a full wrap-around quick carry system (like what CAMP uses on most of their packs, for example) tends to work much better.

For those asking about ski compatibility, I can confirm this ski carry is compatible with at least "some" 100+ skis. I am using it on my pack and it accommodates my 23/24 Dynafit 107 Free skis (Superlight 2.0 bindings) perfectly, and yet still works great with my 64mm Ski Trab Gara WC race skis and everything in between. The versatility is impressive. The hook is also slightly thicker and a more rigid aluminum than the hook that comes on the Camp Rapid Race pack such that I am not concerned about it bending or breaking even with the bigger skis on my pack for longer technical boot packs. Hope this helps!

I take it something 106 underfoot would not play well with these?

Ian,
Possibly but hard to say without trying - depends on what ski, how heavy the ski is, how full your backpack is, etc. The loop would be pretty tight, maybe too tight depending on the profile of the tail. And the hook would probably be plenty reliable, but again hard to say for sure without actually trying with your exact setup.

Curious about ski compatibility.
Hi, I think this is exactly something I’m looking to add to my pack, I’m using Fischer transalp 86 in a 183 length with ATK race bindings — is the hook going to work with my skis? Or is it really just for skimo race skis

Hi Malcolm,
Wider skis can cause issues with the hook system, but you shouldn't have any issue with your 86s. You can also wrap the bungee a half-turn around the ski before hooking it on, that will increase reliability.
