Demonstrate two ways to carry skis and poles safely?
Learn Ways to Carry Skis1Use both hands to carry the skis. You should stand them straight up and grasp the skis one hand over another. This technique is the hardest and may require you to wear your ski gloves for cushion.2Lift the skis once you have a good grip on them (and be sure they are locked together) and place them over your shoulder, with the flat side down. You should be able to balance the skis evenly over your shoulder while only using one arm to keep them steady. This is one of the best ways to carry skis for a longer distance, just be sure you are conscience of how close people and objects are to the front or the back of your skis.3Hold the skis at your waist, using your hip for support if you do not want to carry them on your shoulder. This technique can also be done using only one arm for balance. The skis will get heavy if you are carrying them for any significant distance, luckily you can switch sides easily and have your other arm do some work.4Purchase a carry case. Most ski area retail stores will sell carry cases for skis and poles as well as for ski boots. The carry cases for skis and poles offer you an enclosed area for storage and a shoulder strap.5Purchase a ski rack for your car. This is the best way to travel with multiple pairs of skis. You can attach a special rack directly on the roof of your car and snap in up to five pairs of skis.

No-one has ever crossed the Antarctic on skis. It would most likely be suicide, and you would have to have a sledge/vehicle to carry provisions with you, unless you want to carry everything on your back (not advised).
Can you design your own skis online?
Yes, there is a company that allows you to design pretty much every aspect of your ski.

The company is called 333 Skis and they are saying that the base price of their skis is $333 and they built their own factory. www.333skis.com
Can you make skis?

The bindings could be tricky though.In fact some ski companies just started with people like you who wanted to make skis. For example the company Line was started by Jason Levinthal in 1995. He made his first skis in his own garage.
