Hi Everybody, Mom and I got the best Christmas present ever. We received a surprise package in the mail with a awesome set of lockable double handles for a ski rope. What a wonderful gift. Mom will be turning 80 this year and is looking forward to skiing with her brand new (50 year old) favorite handles. Thank you Thank you George, you are wonderful. :)

Thanks for all the input everyone. We have a couple of sets of double handles (one set are the old wood ones) but Mom has gotten used to putting the handles together to get up. When you are almost 80 it is hard to start making changes to how you get out of the water on a ski. And yes it is possible she also straps a piece of foam around her waist for flotation. Heaven help us if she ever hits her head. Good idea about using the patent info to have a set made. Thanks for the idea and the link.

Thanks for the ideas guys. Unfortunately the metal fatigued and the locking mechanism broke so no luck restringing it. You may be right about it being almost 50 years old now that I think about it. Will keep looking. Thanks again.

Hi, My Mom is 79 and still skiing like a champ. The problem we have is she has always used a special double handled rope with a locking mechanism in the middle that allows a person to get up with it together then separate it into two handles. This handle has finally broke and I can not find another one anywhere. Understand it is probably 40 years old so this is not a surprise. Does anyone know where I might find one of these?
