Skis Wall Mounts

How to choose your ski wall rack

Look first at the waist width and the bindings, since they decide the gap the rack needs. A piste or carving ski sits around 70 mm at the waist, an all-mountain pair wider, a freeride ski 90–110 mm and up — and the ski brakes and toe piece have to clear the wood. That's why the racks run in sizes S to XL. Skis live as a pair, base-to-base, so the rack holds them together cleanly. Oak is dense and rigid enough to carry a 5–7 kg pair with no sag through the off-season. If you ski as a family, a row of mounts handles several pairs, and a setup that also takes the poles is the real space-saver in a ski room or garage.

Vertical vs horizontal ski rack

A vertical ski rack stands the pair on their tails, takes almost no wall width and slots neatly into an entrance, a hallway or a ski room — the practical choice when space is tight. A horizontal rack lays the pair flat for a clean graphic line above a bench or a boot bench, leaning into the chalet look. Touring and alpine pairs both work either way; what changes is the room. For a family quiver, a vertical row keeps several pairs side by side and frees the most floor.

Why solid oak rather than a metal rack

A steel garage rack rusts, marks the topsheet and looks like a utility part; solid oak does the opposite. Each rack is shaped from a dense hardwood and sealed with beeswax and linseed oil, a finish that handles the damp skis bring back from the slopes. The pair hangs clear of the wall with no rubbing, so the bases stay protected and the steel edges dry instead of corroding. The result is the crossed-vintage-skis chalet aesthetic, in warm oak rather than cold metal — décor, not hardware.

Caring for your oak ski rack

Upkeep is easy: a dry wipe and a light yearly re-oil keep the oak even. Let wet skis drip-dry before they go on the rack, and give the bases a summer storage wax so the edges and bases come through the off-season clean. Hanging the pair unloaded keeps any pressure off the camber. Stored dry and oiled, both the rack and your skis are ready for the first lift when the season opens.

A gift for skiers

A handmade oak ski rack is a present a skier genuinely uses. It suits the family with several pairs cluttering the garage, the touring skier who wants kit dry and ready, or anyone with a ski room or chalet entrance to organise. Shipped in 100% recyclable packaging with free delivery over €100, it makes a clean birthday or Christmas gift for skiers.
