So is all of your ski equipment, does that also get stored outdoors?
This reminds me of the debate some people have about covering the outside unit of a split system central air conditioning unit during the winter.

No. However my ski equipment doesn't weigh 3,000 pounds, have an advanced alarm system, or have the UV protectants on it that the vehicles do.
ummm? Thinking GM? Maybe a C3 Corvette?
Hanging wet suits and ski vests and 2 cars. Both mine too, since the kid moved to SLC.
Total restoration.
No bolt unturned.
The best view in muscle era hotrodding.
The four gills with chrome vents were only found in the '69.
The trim was black outlined at the factory so it appears to float off the body.
More hours of work.

I'm quoting this because one "like" seemed woefully inadequate!

Tens of thousands? And certainly not an "investment". These are recreational purchases that depreciate significantly.
A friend of mine is a product developer for the VW Group. He doesn't regularly keep his vehicles inside, and he has cars like I have skis and bikes.
It is nice to keep a high dollar sports car in the garage to keep the pollen and dust off, but no real need to IME.

We put a car in for a while then kids and more bikes happened. And more stuff, usefull important stuff. The car wash is right down the road and unlimited is $25/month. 10 year old cars with 100+ don't fetch much anyways. My car is a 13 and my kid is 14 so there he goes.
My ex had a 69 Corvette Stingray. Sold it to buy a Fiero.
He also had a 57 Chevy Nomad in incredible condition. It started to have a bit of a clutch slipping issue so he parked it in the barn(was going to get to the clutch later) where it's probably still sitting, getting infested with critters.No wonder he’s your ex
*in the end, its his stuff and I've got a happy life with a three stall garage full of things Phil and I enjoy together.
I've rebuilt more than a few Corvettes in my youth. That's how I recognized the frame.
Sadly, I don't have one now. Nice job on yours
