    Can't find the 'ski storage' thread

    I recall the horizontal bars sticking out from the wall being the winner. Someone point me?

    I need to go to Utah.
    Utah?
    Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?

    So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....


    Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

    2”x 4”s, 1” dowel, and a couple of hours of basic carpentry.

    My setup is the same as the lower photo, simple, cheap, effective. I don't know about alpine bindings, by I store my skis mounted with Rottefella Freerides with the tip down on the floor to aid water draining out of the binding. So horizontal wouldn't be as good for that, but that's probably yet another teledork issue that alpiners don't need to worry about. Is that a waterhog mat underneath the tails? Love those things.

    grabbed the grizzly rack. it is cheaper than the lumber and dowels method when accounting for same # of skis

    I use this stuff cuz its cheap/ readily available at the building supply and so is the melamine shelving, the metal track screws to the studs, the shelf struts slot in where ever i want and are very adjustable

    This pict shows 16" wide shelf struts over the window which will hold 3 pair of skis or a piece of shelving, you can see I used the shelving in the corner,

    I don't have a garage and the tennant is in the basement so this is in a spare bedroom/ gear storage/ wax room and you can't see the bench

    Bought the Grizzly rack from Amazon. 3 tier version. Very stout and a good solution. My OCD will require me to paint the ugly green bars a matt black to match the vertical bars. This is a nice solution. Those are Experience 100s on the top bar, 140 at the tip for reference. The Grizzly rack was a little narrower than expected.

    Above those is my solution to the ski box storage. Bolted a 1/2" x3" wide piece of pine to the brackets to leverage the brackets. Works just fine.

    i was inspired by this thread and bought some lumber.

    2x 48 1” dowels
    1x 2x4x8 piece of cedar


    good enough to get the heap of skis off the floor from the corner, not that there’s a huge quiver i’m working with here.

    Grizzly racks are great. Now I have plenty of rook for even more skis. And my kids too.
    I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

    Tip for the Grizzly racks: a strip of electrical tape on the top surface of each bar improves the friction, helping skis stay put.

    Image is a couple years old, so most of the skis have been changed out, but I really like how this ended up

    My garage is only 1.5 cars wide, and the storage in my house is crap. I was trying to figure a moving storage option so i could rearrange based on the season. Costco had these 48"x18" rolling wire shelves on sale for $89. I made some two-deep hanging ski racks to fasten to the side of the shelving unit which will let me get 6 sets of skis on each side. The wheels will allow me to move the skis over to another side of the garage and lock up my mountain bikes to that back wall in the summer. I had some scrap plywood that I glued together to make the mount for the 1" wood dowels to hang the skis so it cost me about $16 to make this (excluding the shelving which i needed anyway). The ski racks are 30" wide so there is a 6" overhang on the front and back side. This ultimately does not impact the space I would be using since some of the stuff I put on the shelf is more than 18" deep anyway.

    The only caveat with this design is that you need to make some sort of wedge to place in the tips to make sure the rocker in the ski tips hangs in the ski rack and the rocker doesn't deform. I was thinking about a design where I could have a platform extending off of the bottom shelf for the ski tips rest on but I am hopeful that this will work (the hanging design has worked for enough people). Anyhow, I hope this gives people with limited non-permantent wall space an alternative, moving option. Since I can't figure out to how to post pictures here, see this link https://photos.app.goo.gl/GTLGFFAgEQtcoJmCA .
