Ski Pass Holders

Does anyone know where I can buy a holder for a ski pass. I have seen a clear holder attached to the sleeve of a jacket or sometimes to the leg. Any ideas as to where to go to get one?

Bought mine at Sugarbush.

Most ski shops and mountainside shops have them. They are handy.

I keep my pass on a zip cord. That way it it easier for lifties to check and retracts out of the way. Mount Snow gave them out about 8 years ago and I just got 2 for my kids from PSIA for 3.95 each.

Doesnt it get caught in the trees that you ski?
I keep mine on an armband... Doesnt get snaged in tight trees...

I even go a step further...I wear the armband around my leg near my boot top. Another step I took this year to avoid those snags is to buy a pair of Leki poles with breakaway pole straps. A little too much pressure near the strap and they pop out of the pole. Super convenient when riding lifts too.

For me - as a snowboarer - it's easier to have it on my arm when I get check ALL THE TIME... I could be standing with 4 skiers and I'll be the only one checked... I know... Get the violins out... :)
