The Blue Ice Quick Ski Carry Kit lets you load your skis onto your pack without taking it off your shoulders. Inspired by skimo race systems, it adds a fast ski-carry point to your existing backpack, turning the switch from skinning to booting into a five-second job rather than a faff with straps.

At 35g it disappears into a pocket when you're not using it and adds no meaningful weight to your kit. Choose it if your transitions on technical days involve more fumbling than you'd like.

Why you'll love it

• Pack stays on – load and unload skis without shrugging off your bag
• Race-inspired speed – a fumble-free transition between skinning and booting
• Quick-attach design – fits the backpack you already own
• Just 35g – no weight penalty, and it pockets away when not in use

Who it's for

Ski mountaineers and splitboarders who want faster, cleaner transitions on technical days in the mountains.
