These ski racks came about because I wanted a practical and aesthetic storage solution for my skis. My apartment didn’t have much in the way of storage so as long as my skis were going to be out in the open I figured they may as well be put on display. After experimenting with several prototypes for mounting skis and snowboards in different orientations, I spent time refining a design that allows for the vertical mounting of skis.

This design has a few key features that set it apart from existing products: It works for a wide variety of ski sizes, stores your poles behind the skis, puts the topsheet on display instead of the edge, and is almost invisible when the ski is in the rack. It is easy to slip skis and poles into and out of the racks, and looks a lot better than having them leaning against the wall in the corner of the room.
