#Simple but effective (2009-06-20) Ski TiesSimple strips of velcro, but quite effective. Nice touches are the bright colour range (you get pairs of all five colours in each order) and that the two opposing bits of velcro are heat-welded together, rather than stitched, so all looks very secure and unlikely to unravel at an awkward moment. Not as cheap as chopping up your own bits of velcro (or even bits of string) but these also hardly break the bank and are easy/ colourful/ identifiable/ welded together - and save your skis from clattering about and getting scuffed. Quick deliver...
