Gear of the Week | DIY ski stand

Whether piste, powder, touring or park: for some, all-mountain skis are not enough for all desires. Sooner or later, this leads to an extensive ski or snowboard arsenal. If several winter sports enthusiasts live under one roof, the entrance area or cellar can quickly turn into a mess. Poles, skis and boots are criss-crossed in the equipment battle and the morning search for the right pair becomes a test of nerves.

There is a simple solution to put an end to this mess: a solid ski rack. Nothing keeps the boards in order better and at the same time protects them from unnecessary scratches and damage.

We all know the scenario: the skis are neatly lined up next to each other on the wall until one tips over. Then it's like a domino chain and they're all on the floor. Sharp edges can quickly carve into the neighboring skis or stoppers can be bent.

To avoid this, it's worth building your own ski stand - individual, robust and perfectly adapted to your space.

With a little craftsmanship, you'll end up with a stable and clean solution that will upgrade your hallway, junk room or ski room and finally put an end to the eternal chaos.

My version was primarily designed to store as many skis and snowboards as possible. However, you can also add a "shelf" to one level to create space for boots. With these small adjustments, you can adapt the ski rack perfectly to your needs.

Do you have any other suggestions for the design or other tips?
