Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Snow Ski storage

 Poster: A snowHead

Greetings ALL!! I look forward to sharing my limited Skiing knowledge with everyone!

Having said that... Bought two new pairs of skiis last winter. I have always hung them up horizontally in a double ski bag in the garage. Mind you the garages in Phx, AZ get pretty warm in the summer, & spring, & fall. Is there a problem in that, or should I geep them in the house at room temp?

rpoint16, welcome to snowHeads!

Not sure what the best summer storage policy is (I keep mine standing upright on their tails), but I think it has been discussed a few times on the forum. You will pull up a few threads if you use the search facility.

Wouldn't be too keen on the 'in the bag' idea(and presumeidly locked together)as any trapped moisture would have a field day.I have a rather fetching diy timber ski rack in my basement study,that keeps them apart with free air circulating.It also means I get to look at my 'beauty's' every time I go down' wink Laughing

snowskisnow, that's fair for most places; Phoenix OTOH is so dry that rpoint16 may well be safer from it than anyone else. If these were cross-country skis I'd mostly worry about base adhesive delamination due to heat cycling, but the steel edges on downhill skis tend to keep things more stable, particularly if the bases are kept well-waxed.

rpoint16, Welcome. My skis have always been heavily waxed (not scraped), bindings' DIN settings slacked off, tips and tails at their contact points securely bound together and a block of wood that is about 1/2 an inch thicker than the combined camber, placed between the bases at the boot centre point, then stored in my basement in their bag. So far I have not had any problems.

You do, however, have to worry about reseting the bindings on the girly skis for each new conquest Razz

How about boots?
Presumably keep them dry and loosely buckled, but not too worried about temperature?
I am thinking about an unheated self storage unit (at least dry and dark)
