An integrated carrying handle makes it easy to help a child who has fallen back to their feet or to assist them when getting on and off the chairlift. “ Ski Ties ” was developed in 2015 in Squamish, Canada, by a family who hits the slopes with their children every winter. At ski-shop.ch, you’ll find the “ Ski Ties ” ski harness ready to go for your next family outing in the snow.

Guide instead of pull—gentle support for those first turns
The Ski Ties ski harness features a padded waist section with a sturdy internal structure to which the leash—up to 4.8 meters long—is attached. You hold the leash from behind or from the side, allowing you to gently guide your child’s hip movements without having to pull on their arms or shoulders. Because the pull acts directly on the hips, your child maintains their natural balance and keeps their center of gravity low, rather than tipping forward when braking. Two adjustable leg loops keep the harness securely in place, even if your child falls, gets back up, or runs around in between. This allows you to gently countersteer or slow down at just the right moment without any jerks or discomfort—most importantly, your child feels that they’re being safely guided.
The complete SkiTies Ultimate Kid’s Ski Harness comes ready to use, including a carrying bag, in a size that fits most children. Since it can be put on and taken off in just a few seconds, it’s also ideal for spontaneous use—for example, when your child needs a little help on a steeper section. For all other Ski Ties products and accessories, check out the Ski Ties brand page at ski-shop.ch. There you’ll also find current availability and can get advice on choosing the right size if you have any questions. This way, you’ll be well-prepared to start the next ski season with your child.
Nylon, One Size
Durable nylon, padded waistband, and a carrying handle for any situation
The Ski Ties ski strap is made of durable nylon, so it can easily withstand a whole winter day full of falls, snowball fights, and breaks on the slopes. The hip area is contoured and padded so that the tension from the leash is distributed over as large an area as possible, preventing any pressure points or digging in. A firmly integrated carrying handle on the back allows you to lift your child back up after a fall with minimal effort or to briefly secure them while getting on and off the chairlift. The harness is available in black and comes in a one-size-fits-most design suitable for most children learning to ski, so you don’t have to worry about complicated size charts. The material remains reliable even in wet snow or at low temperatures, making this ski harness a companion that will last for several seasons.
The SkiTies Ultimate Kid’s Ski Harness is suitable for both boys and girls and can be adjusted to fit different body sizes thanks to the adjustable leg loops. If you need another harness for a second child or as a replacement, you can check current availability directly on the product page. For an overview of the brand's entire product line, visit the Ski Ties brand page at ski-shop.ch. If you have any questions about care or how to put it on correctly, our customer service team will be happy to assist you personally. This way, the harness will remain a reliable part of your ski gear for many winters to come.
For Beginners
From your first snowplow to skiing confidently on your own
The Ski Ties ski strap is suitable for children who are practicing their first turns in the snowplow position and still need a bit of guidance and security. Especially during those first few meters, when balance and braking aren’t yet second nature, the strap gives you, as a parent, the ability to gently intervene in an emergency without significantly restricting your child’s freedom of movement. The strap also serves as a practical transition when moving from ski school to skiing freely with parents, as it allows you to provide support similar to what the ski instructor did before. As soon as your child becomes more confident, you can simply lengthen the leash or remove the harness entirely, so it grows with their skiing ability rather than limiting it. This keeps the focus on the shared experience on the slopes, rather than on the worry that a fall might happen too far away for you to help quickly.
For beginners, the SkiTies Ultimate Kid’s Ski Harness is more than sufficient and covers the most important situations—from the very first run to the first independent turns. Since the system is quick to put on and take off, you can also use it only on steeper or unfamiliar sections of the trail and ski the rest of the slope normally without the harness. If you’re unsure whether the harness is suitable for your child and your slope, a quick consultation in the store will help you decide. You can find all the information and other Ski Ties products on the Ski Ties brand page at ski-shop.ch. This way, you can start the ski season well-prepared and with peace of mind.
