Ibex, Seasons not finished!
Best bet is to get a few days of Scotish snow on them before putting them to bed if you cant get further afield.

Probably not at all orthodox, but I keep my skis - sans storage wax - standing up at the back of a warm, dry wardrobe. They seem to like that treatment a lot more than being kept in a ski bag in the cellar, which is what I used to do.

Ibex, can't be ar$ed. They don't rust or appear to come to any ill effect. But, as I say - not very orthodox and someone will probably be along to say why it's a bad idea.

Keep them somewhere dry - worst thing is to leave them in the ski bag in a damp garage, particularly if they were wet when put in the bag. Edges will rust/pit badly in a damp environment.
Ideally slap on some hot wax and store them somewhere safe and dry. Mine live under the bed.
Another good tip to prevent edge rusting is to give them a quick coating of Zardos Not-Wax. Particularly if not using storage wax.

The only really important thing is to keep the skis out of any bags where moisture might be present and in a dry environment, Oh and not with the bases tight together

As long as they are dry and you store them somewhere dry they will be fine.
Something that works jumping cliffs, smashing through moguls, carving a piste at high speed and in v cold conditions will be okay under your bed for a few months.
