Replying to How do you hike/walk/climb with skis?

So I along with everyone else im sure gets tired of hiking up hills or walking to the hotel from the hill carrying skis. I was wondering if anybody had any innovative ideas as to how to strap skis to a backpack or something like that. I have a burton backpack with two horizontal straps and i tried strapping them in vertical but it was a very very loose fit so it swung a lot and kept hitting me in the back of the legs. Any suggestions?
