1. A ski carrier apparatus for a user manually carrying a pair of skis, said ski carrier apparatus comprising:
(a) a flexible bracket in the form of a “C” shaped channel including a planar base portion having a first end portion and an opposing second end portion with a base longitudinal axis spanning therebetween, a first leg and a second leg that each extend in a same direction and parallel to one another respectively from said first and second end portions, said first and second legs each terminate in a respective first and second hook sections that each face inward towards one another, wherein said flexible bracket is constructed of;
(a)i an elastic band that extends through said first hook section, continuing to said first leg, next to said planar base portion, further to said second leg, and to said second hook section, said elastic band is folded back unto itself to form a double layer comprising a primary layer and a secondary layer, wherein said secondary layer terminates at a first margin and a second margin, such that said first and second margins are spaced apart along said longitudinal axis forming a gap;
(a)ii a first semi rigid bendable “U” shaped planar section that is disposed between said first hook section and said first margin and further disposed between said primary and secondary layers, wherein operationally said first semi rigid bendable “U” shaped planar section adds a selectable shape that is manually formed between said first hook section and said first margin to set a first length of said first leg and corresponding said first hook section to accommodate different size skis;
(a)iii a second semi rigid bendable “U” shaped planar section that is disposed between said second hook section and said second margin and further disposed between said primary and secondary layers, wherein operationally said second semi rigid bendable “U” shaped planar section adds a selectable shape that is manually formed between said second hook section and said second margin to set a second length of said second leg and corresponding said second hook section to accommodate different size skis in ski width and thickness, wherein operationally after said first and second legs and said first and second hook section and then using said elastic band on a portion disposed between said first and second margins to stretch with a closing bias between said first and second legs and said first and second hook sections to selectably fit over and secure to edges of the skis to ultimately hold the skis together with ski bases in contact with one another;

(b) an adjustable strap having a first strap end and an opposing second strap end, wherein operationally said strap is looped around an upper torso of a user; and
(c) a cord having a first cord end with a first means for removable engagement to said adjustable strap first strap end and an opposing second cord end with a second means for removable engagement to said adjustable strap second strap end, wherein operationally said cord is adjacent to a lower torso of the user with the cord looped around a ski toe binding assembly of a ski from the pair of skis to suspend the skis above the ground allowing the user to carry the skis via walking in a hands free manner.
