Hanging/Storing Skis

[Flexon Phil]

Between wall and ceiling it all depends on what you have for space. In my situation, wall works better and it is also convenient when waxing skis, the toe holder also prevents the ski from falling.

[Alpinord]

Yeah, that'd be super handy for cycling skis while tuning and waxing, too.

If were up for it, you sent me the dimensions, I could draw up a template to share. Now you need to make is a PugSki wood burning to put in each piece.

I could see using these on extension arms that were fixed, on a hinge or an extension glide as a slick set up to save space.

Terry, I used 1x3 into 3" sections then rounded the end to mirror a toe and beveled it. Make sure you sink the screws deep enough not to affect the AFD.

I plan on making some extra to put on the end of the work bench for when I am waxing.

Figured as much. Also stating the obvious, the depth of what you mount your 'cleats' to, needs to account for max height of bindings and ski tips for clearance from the wall.

I made this guy last month. Cheap and fun.

I did a 2x3, while it wont take a Look Pivot in the set position, it will take most everything else. The list of materials are in link in my first post in the thread. $20.00 in materials for an 8' section that holds 15 pair of skis and maybe 2 hours time? A great value.

Very cool idea!!!

[devon]

Can confirm that soft rockered/early rise powder skis are heavily effected by this sort of storage.

Last year I left one of my pair of line mr pollards opus skis in a makeshift tip hook setup similar to this, and one pair of opus on a shelf with my other skis. 9 months they hung like this.
The tip stored ones early rise, especially on just one of the skis, has been permanently effected. The rise is now least 2cm less than normal, and the left ski's rise is 1cm less than the right ski.
I've skied them in deep pow a few times, and their performance didn't really seem to be effected. But I was very disappointed to have damaged them this way.

i'd suggest pursuing one of the horizontal suggestions .
i've seen TransplantedFromRMNP's horizontal method, but with wooden hooks, on a large scale with about 40-50 pairs of skis at a rental shop. it was very impressive, almost an art piece.

Thanks for the input. Sorry this happened to you. Given your comments, I'll look for some other options.

I bought two six pair each lumber rack from grizzly. $75 delivered and I can store 12 pairs horizontal. 14 gauge steel. Easy peazy

Looks like a great option. I'm thinking I'll go this route. Seems like I can get something similar on amazon for around $50.

Store mine and wife's skis in the garage standing up between the 2x6 studs with a piece of strapping across the two bays (one for her and one for me) at chest level with a center screw for the strapping which allows it to swivel vertical to allow retrieval of skis/poles. Cost? One screw and a 34" scrap piece of strapping that I found laying around. Works perfect.

I made this guy last month. Cheap and fun. 2/3 of those ski's are gone now lol.

5 pair of skis...2/3 are gone...fuzzy math.

I blame legal weed

Duuude...:roflmao: YEAH.

That's a cool set up. I have a wooden boot sole that I made a few years ago for tuning with the same concept. Put two holes in it for dowels to keep it in place on the bench at the time.
Click the sole into the boot, drop it onto the dowels, tune, click out and repeat.

Grizzly 6 lumber rack. All US steel
$45 shipped or $75 for two

Necro bumb, but what is the best(cheapest) way to drill those holes at the same angle?

[Gunder]

Here is mine. Steel tube welded to some ¼ x 4inch steel web and then bolted to a Unistrut framework that is lag bolted to the ceiling. Holds 30 pairs of 130+ waist skis before I have to start making room on the ski pole rack for more.

Bridgeport mill is the best.... the cheapest is to drill the first hole in a scrap piece of 2x4 and then use it as a guide to do all of the rest of the holes. Fostner bits are you're friend for this.

Fuck you guys and your garages...

[XXX-er]

If you got a garage you likely have lots of room and there are lots of ways to store skis, but here is a good ski rack for an apartment or condo with limited space/ no garage, it holds 4 pair of skis alpine or AT off the ground in a very small space with room for the boot dryer and a bunch of stuff on the shelf ... built for the price of the lumber

I still havent painted it

a more elegant soulution for your closeted skis

i finally did paint it white

[MiddleOfNight]

Have a couple of these:




Saw a picture of the design somewhere years ago (maybe tgr) and shamelessly stole it. Ms. Middles' pops milled the lumber.
They are stand alone, small footprint. Drips contained in the tray at the bottom, no edge to edge storage, less worry about flattening rocker.
Plus some skis look too good to be hidden in a closet or garage :-)

Base to base works also, twice the storage capacity.

I used a bunch of cheap hardware store garden tool holders mounted horizontally and vertically.
With bindings I can get two pairs in one hook, without they go solo. And because the track has multiple spacing options, I can put them closer or farther depending on the width of the skis.

Gladiator deep hooks hold two pair per hook.

That is so sick! Cant believe I didn’t think of that. Definitely going to get some of those big hooks.

Thanks bry!
