Has anybody ever used the ski carry feature of this pack? With just the one side compression strap to hold skis in above the bindings, I'm a bit trepidatious as to how this will work out with tele skis. I thought for a moment that the extra female buckles on the right side of the pack were intended for some sort of ski carry magic, but with the pack fully loaded the front compression straps just barely reach the female ports...any ideas on how to jerry-rig it?

Actually I just noticed that bc.com lists that it doesn't have a ski carry feature, but I just bought the pack from REI and am pretty sure there are no better uses for those two fixed loops at the bottom there...
