Ski protection device

Abstract

A ski protection device that is configured to be surroundably mounted to a snow ski so as to provide protection thereof wherein the present invention further facilitates an ability for a user to transport the snow ski while encased in the present invention on a conventional roof rack. The present invention includes a body having a wall member manufactured from nylon or similar material that creates an interior volume suitable for disposing a snow ski therein. The body of the present invention includes a first portion and a second portion contiguously formed wherein the second portion has a width greater than that of the first portion. Proximate the second end of the body is an end portion. The end portion is movable to a second position wherein the end portion is folded back over to be adjacent the second end of the body and secured thereto utilizing a strap member.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A ski protection device that is configured to inhibit debris from contacting a ski during transport wherein the ski protection device comprises:
 a body, said body having a wall member wherein said wall member is constructed to form an interior volume, said body having a first end and a second end, said second end of said body having an opening providing access to said interior volume of said body, said body being comprised of a first portion and a second portion, said first portion and said second portion of said body being contiguously formed;   an end portion, said end portion being contiguously formed at said second end of said body, said end portion being movable from a first position to a second position; and   a strap member, said strap member being secured to said end portion, said strap member configured to surroundably mount said end portion, said strap member operable to maintain said end portion in said second position.   
     
     
         2 . The ski protection device that is configured to inhibit debris from contacting a ski during transport as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said body further includes an end member, said end member being integrally formed on said first end of said body, said end member being manufactured from a heavier material than said body. 
     
     
         3 . The ski protection device that is configured to inhibit debris from contacting a ski during transport as recited in  claim 2 , wherein in said second position said end portion is folded over against said body proximate said second end thereof wherein said end portion is adjacent said body. 
     
     
         4 . The ski protection device that is configured to inhibit debris from contacting a ski during transport as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said second portion of said body has a width that is greater than a width of said first portion of said body. 
     
     
         5 . The ski protection device that is configured to inhibit debris from contacting a ski during transport as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said body is manufactured from nylon. 
     
     
         6 . The ski protection device that is configured to inhibit debris from contacting a ski during transport as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the ski protection device facilitates an ability to transport a ski stored in the ski protection device on a conventional roof rack while a ski is disposed within the ski protection device.
