It may seem like an insignificant detail, but having a proper ski strap is really helpful. The cute, little, fabric-and-velcro, straps that ski racers use are fine for getting your skis from the car to the lift line. In the backcountry it is essential that you can actually lash things together. These straps are strong and durable. They serve many purposes. Throw a few in your pack, and be prepared.
