 Poster: A snowHead
|
I would love a cellar. Just like in the States, and much of the Continent. Be great for keeping wine at the right temperature. And, I guess, skis. But I don't have one. So, if I buy skis, whee do I store them? From the days when I last had skis, I know Mrs a is not keen on them stored in the bedroom. (Can't think why, they are an objet d'art, as far as I am concerned  ) Loft gets darn hot in the summer, which I cant imagine is good for them. Hope to use the garage for the car again, soon. So that'll get damp.
Where do you keep yours?

achilles, I have a cupboard for them. (May need to move house as the cupboard is full!)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Under the spare bed (when we had one) and then at the back (of my side) of the wardrobe.
You could always buy an apartment / chalet in which to store your skis. It would stop any and all arguments.

spyderjon, Excellent
I knew a bloke that had a golf bag that was as well organised as your cupboard. He had a dicky fit when I swapped his 6 & 9 iron around.

Frosty the Snowman you get one of those with Spyder jackets - it's why they're soooo expensive.

achilles, pretty much anywhere is ok so long as it's not damp (so I'd avoid garages but dry cellars would be fine). Damp is the worst ski killer due to the high carbon content in the edges which means rust.

D G Orf, For preference, I would use the loft. But I wonder if hight temperature does any harm?

You know it makes sense.

A corner of the garage. I did not realise skis needed to be cellared like wine

Latchigo, Don't think they do. I just worry that the considerable summer temperature in the loft may be to hot for them. Is your garage car-free?

Mine live in the loft, which ranges from -30C to +30C. They don't seem to suffer for it.

If you have to store them horizontallly - e.g. in a loft, probably best on their edges rather than flat. They are best kept dry, especially when you bring them back from the snow - so try to get them as snow free as possible before packing them -

achilles, No garage is used for the car as well.
I keep golf clubs in another corner. Graphite shafts are OK. Occasional rust spots on steel shafts - but you can get too precious about sports equipment. I am certainly not dragging the clubs into the house after use. Cars rust too !

So long as the loft is ventilated skis should be fine there, the wax should be OK below about +60C

A nice hot loft should help get the wax into the base too. Ski racers use that technique.
I prefer a damp cellar.

Latchigo, my car is rapidly becoming less precious than skis . I wonder if a good covering of wax over base and round the edges might not be sufficient for them to be kept in the garage, though.

Keep my old skis in the garage. Haven't used them for a few years and I did get them cleaned up with a view to trying to sell but never got around to it. There are no rust spots and I keep them zipped in a bag.

I think I would avoid snow-covered-mountains with my skis in storage. ! - I would un-store them & take them along

adam_button, eek!
Take them out of the bag - too much moisture!

adam_button, if it's completely open, OK, if you've only left a gap at one end, go back and open it up - better yet, take them OUT of the bag.

Keep them in the worst possible place so that when you dig them out they'll be "ruined" (perhaps marginally drried out or with a rust spot on the edge) & you'll have the perfect excuse for buying new toys

Next to my back door ... right where I can grab them of a weekend to head off to give them a trashing. (and let Adam_button ski over them when he's out of control!)
