Some people really need to weed their ski collection.
Maybe if this is the ski collection:

Also, did you not notice how pared-down we keep the family pole quiver?!

I finally cleaned up my ski storage. The poles might be temporary but it works for now. I had a bunch of scrap wood so it was basically free.

Nice P50s with Piston Controls
They pretty much take up space. I did ski them a few years ago. The bindings aren't Grip Walk so their usefulness may have come to an end.

The P50s are 183. :ogbiggrin:
Might have to stage an intervention!
While it’s happening, I’ll take good care of that Blossom and the Renoun. ogsmile

The Ichthyosaurs skis are the fatest short ski or the shortest fat skis I’ve seen. Fun? Are they Moment?

They are Moment Night Trains. I got them because our friends had (they recently sold) a brewery and Ichthyosaur Pale Ale is their main brew. They used to do a yearly ski with Moment and the Icky graphics. The ski is a full rocker, 125 under foot, so way to short for me. I've skied the back bowls at Chez Ziggy and my cul de sac. Not much else.

A little off topic here but I thought I read someplace you should not store skis sandwiched together at the binding like this. Has any of you noticed any I’ll effects on the ski camber or brakes due to storage?

we used to store them upside down in between the floor joists when I was younger. Just screw a few 1x1s in and it worked great

I have never seen any publication or article on this, if you could find it, please share with the class.

Here are a few. None specifically speak about the brakes binding them together but all agree not to compress the camber in any way. How much does locking the brakes together compress the camber? I don’t know.

im curious if anyone has noticed any adverse impact of doing this. I have always stored mine separately, just because it was easier in my situation.
