The 10 Best Indoor Ski Storage Racks

You can get your gear completely out of the way when it's not in season, thanks to the StoreYourBoard Hi-Port 2 (appx. $70). It attaches to the ceiling and holds everything above your head, so you won't trip over it (because it's hard to explain a skiing injury in the middle of July).

This option from Monkey Bar Storage (around $80) is made of powder-coated steel, so if you break it, you might have to admit you suffer from an equipment-hoarding problem. The hooks slide onto the bar, making it a breeze to customize to your particular needs.

The FallLine Parabolic XL (appx. $95) is a freestanding model made of rugged polyurethane, making it more than capable of holding up to substantial abuse. You can use it on its own or you can buy several and interlock them, if you're being overrun by apparel.

Unless you're trying to outfit the entire Olympic team, the Wealers Heavy Duty (about $19) should offer plenty of room for your stuff, as it can hold as many as three pairs of skis. Granted, that won't suit an extended family, but it's likely enough for most users.

You can have the StoreYourBoard Omni (appx. $75) up and hanging on the wall in your garage in a matter of minutes. Even though it's a cinch to install, it still provides a remarkably sturdy place to hold equipment, so don't worry about coming home to find everything on the floor.

If you tend to make snow-capped mountains your second home, the Rough Rack (about $60) provides a handy place to shrug off all the related trappings you've acquired over the years. It can support six pairs of skis or six boards, so you don't have to limit yourself to just one sport.

Built using handcrafted redwood, this offering from Pro Board Racks (about $65) will dress up any wall you attach it to. It's as functional as it is attractive, as it keeps all your paraphernalia well separated, making it easy to find what you need in a hurry.

If you're the only one in your household who hits the powder, the YVST Vertically (about $9) is perfect for a single pair of cross-country skis. Covered in thick foam to prevent scratching, it provides a soft landing for your gear, including two poles.

You'll never guess how many pairs the Racor Triple (about $26) can hold. OK, maybe you will, but what might surprise you is how well it keeps everything organized. Your accessories can hang neatly with barely any overlap, so you won't have to waste time untangling straps.

You don't need to mess with a stud finder and drill if you choose the StoreYourBoard Freestanding (appx. $80). It can be put anywhere in your home, and all you have to do is slide the skis down into it when you're done using them. Any holes made in the walls will be purely accidental.
