4 Ski Storage Rack | Wall Ski Rack

This wooden ski storage rack will hold 4 pairs of skis on your wall along with poles and other gear that you want to store with your skis.  Simple and practical, this ski rack is a great way to protect your skis when they're not in use by storing them safely in your garage, basement, shed, laundry room, mudroom, bedroom or wherever else you store your skis.

Ski Storage | Why You Can't and Shouldn't Live Without It

What is Ski Storage?  In simple terms ski storage is what you do with you skis when you are not actively using them.  So if you aren't out on the mountain riding through waist deep powder or arcing your skis down a perfect groomer......you are most likely not using your skis so they are therefore in "storage".  Unfortunately for most of us our skis spend a lot more time in storage than on our feet.



Does this remind you of your garage?


The term Ski Storage would be used very loosely when you talk to most people.  Ask the average skier where they store their skis and they will first probably look at you funny and once you ask more specifically, where are your skis when you are not using them, the typical answer would be "in my garage" "in the basement" "in the closet".  If you probe further, "in" these places typically means shoved in a corner where ever there is room. Specifically this is typically a corner because - well have you ever tried to lean your skis on a flat wall?  Try leaning a pair of skis on a wall and over 50% of the time they are going to slip and come crashing down.


I know when you got your new ski setup you were totally psyched to try them out and rip it up out on the slopes.  It probably never crossed your mind - so now I bought this nice shinny new set of skis, what am I going to do with them when I get home?  What you should do is put them in a Ski Storage Rack.  A well designed ski rack will properly store your skis for you.  If you know anything about StoreYourBoard, you know we have all kind of board racks and we just happen to have the industry leading selection of ski racks for your home, garage, office, etc.

Head on over to the website and check out some of the ski racks available.  We have ski racks that hold up to 8 pairs for the family of skiers, we have economical ski racks for under $20, we have solid Oak ski racks, we have innovative adjustable metal ski racks, and many more.

I am sure (or at least hope) you can see how useful a proper ski storage rack would be, especially if you have more than one set of skis.  Conveniently organizing all your ski gear (don't forget all those poles) in one place is a big space saver and goes a long way in keeping your house organized.  Having a designated place to securely hold your gear after you are done skiing is why many customer send in their photos and comments stating "I don't know what I did before I got this ski rack(s)"  Do yourself a favor and get a ski rack this season to properly store and organize your skis this winter, into the off-season, and for many winters to come.


I don't think it is quite time to break out the snorkels to get through the cold smoke this season but we can start dreaming and just barely still feel those perfect powder runs from last year.....

Here's to a GREAT Ski Season in 2011-2012!

Early Snow | Great Ski and Snowboard Season to Come

If you live in the Northeast you know the snow came a little bit earlier this year.  Unfortunately I think it was too early for most of the ski slopes slopes to open up, except Killington.  So if the snow has made you ready to shred get up to Kilington for some early season action!  Hopefully the rest of the ski resorts are using this bountiful snowfall as a great base to start the season.

I know all you Rocky Mountain guys are like, what the big deal? Skiing in October is the norm out here. I know, I know, I know.  Just to give everyone an update in the annual Colorado War to Open First - A Basin won, opening October 13th while Loveland open the next day.

First Chair!

So for all the die-hard skiers and snowboarders out there it is a no-brainer to hit the slopes and start the season off NOW.  For the rest of the "normal" people out there when is it worth it to start skiing and snowboarding for the year?  What does it depend on for you?

I haven't hit the slopes yet but I know I am getting pumped up to get out there!

Let me know where else is open and when is it worth it to start hitting the slopes?

Ski and Snowboard Storage - StoreYourBoard.com Tip

StoreYourBoard.com Tip

In a lot of places around the country the start of April marks the end of the snowboard and ski season.  If you need a ski or snowboard storage rack you know where to find them.  

Before you put your skis and snowboards in your storage or display rack put a fresh layer of thick wax over the bases and edges.  This will help prevent any rusting or deteriorating of your edges and bases during the off season.  When winter comes around again all you have to do is scrape off the wax and your boards will be ready to go shred.

If you don't know how to wax your own snowboard or skis you can take them to your local shop and ask them for a summer coat of wax.  Just to let you know it is very easy to wax your own snowboards and skis.  Here is a link to a pretty simple tutorial on waxing your snowboard.

Good Luck!

Ski Storage Rack - RACK FEATURE

Today I am going to spotlight on of our Best Selling Ski Storage Racks.  This is both a personal favorite and a customer favorite.  Since the winter season is winding down, now is the PERFECT time to get yourself a Ski Storage Rack!  Without one your skis will no where to call home.

BordzUp Ski Storage Rack

This is probably my favorite ski rack. It is very functional but also looks killer. I know when I put my skis in they are securely stored until the next time I need them. This rack provides very easy access to your skis so they are ready for that next early morning powder run. And when I can't be shredding it on the slopes I like to see my collection of skis hanging on my wall.

This ski rack is made out of very high quality materials and it is quite evident when you pick up the rack. The rack was well engineered; it was not just put together by someone in their garage on a whim. Boardzup took their time and designed a quality rack made to store skis. This is a rack that you know will outlast your skis. There are not any parts of it that are cheap, flimsy, or liable to break. Everything is heavy duty and built for years of use.

Once you mount this ski rack to your wall it feels extremely solid and you know your skis will not be falling out of this rack. One nice feature you often might not ever consider or know about until it is installed is that the rack arms are built to extend far enough from the wall that the tails of the ski do not lean on your wall. This is especially nice when you skis are a bit wet. I also really like the neoprene grips that cushion the skis in the rack. It is really the perfect material that provides cushion so the skis don’t get scratched but it is also very substantial so it doesn’t give too much and pinch you skis too far up the shovel.

I like the modern look with the tubular aluminum, black grips, and ability to have the skis angled. This ability to angle your skis is both functional and aesthetically appealing.

I actually use this rack to store my skis at my home. It is very versatile and can accommodate a large variety of skis. Right now I have one pair Fischer Watea mid fats, one pair of Fischer Slalom Race skis, a pair of K2 telemark skis, and a pair of Salomon kid’s skis. As you can see it will pretty much hold any skis you want to store.

I will say it is not quite as obvious how to install this ski rack as some of our standard wood racks but included in the package are very detailed instructions with pictures to help you make sense of the rack. We have not had any customers complain because it was too hard to install, but it does help to read the instructions to make sure you mount it correctly the first time.

Do yourself a favor and get this ski rack to properly store your skis. Just wait until you have it installed, you will be kicking yourself for not getting one earlier.
We also just recently added another Awesome Feature with this rack.  You can buy extensions to it so you can store more skis.  You can go up to 10 Pairs of Skis!  Very cool if you have a lot of skis and a nice long wall to store and display all your skis.
