Baller packski Posted November 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2018 Never really have given much thought to storing skis in a shed in the winter. What are you guys thoughts on the cold temps possibly affecting skis that m storage? Good idea or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted November 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2018 Mine are always hanging from the garage ceiling over the boat. Gets way below zero in there, never noticed any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibrain Posted November 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2018 Water expands when it freezes. If the inside of your ski is completely dry and plastic hardware that might get brittle when cold isn’t manipulated, cold is no issue. I had an EP that (apparently) got water in it where the top meets the hull. 20 below temps in the shed. In the spring the top and side of ski where pushed out about 1/16.” Definitely wasn’t like that when I put it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller S1Pitts Posted November 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2018 Really? You don't sleep with yours? Huh! Maybe it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted November 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2018 I guess that if water is getting inside the ski then it needs to die anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller theboardingschool Posted November 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2018 I have a few guys that are storing them at The Boarding School, and making a few trips to visit them over the winter. Seems like the best way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Kimbymon Posted November 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2018 Because I possibly like my slalom ski more than some of my extended family, it and my daughters slalom ski rest in their bags in a closet in the basement. My sons combos and the O’Brien Tournament 2000 kneeboard my brother got for his 12th birthday in 1989 are in the attic over the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rockdog Posted November 27, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 27, 2018 @aupatking you've got more $$ tied up in bindings than skis, what's up with that? And why is there golf clubs hanging around, what are they for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller aupatking Posted November 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 28, 2018 @MS they don’t make a sign for the IPA or it would be the only sign I need. Those golf clubs made their way to the attic that day @rockdog. I wish those skis cost less than the boots. Supposed to be 72 degrees Friday. It’s 34 now :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted November 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2018 My skis are in the basement in their bags. The kid’s wakeboard is in the garage attic with the rest of the junk. It seems to do fine in the NW Ohio winters. I guess I will have to leave it on the platform some day while trailering out to the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted November 29, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted November 29, 2018 My skis are in the closet in the guest room. I had a natural gas line installed and terminated in the garage when I built the house, but haven't bought the heater for it yet. Once I have the garage heated at least into the 50 degree range in winter, I would put the skis out there. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller LOTW Posted November 29, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 29, 2018 As sun is no good I would think cold wouldn't either. My '17 and '18 Pro Builds are in my living room for the long Canadian winter. Unbelievably cool items to stare at during those long, cold nights!

Baller skialex Posted November 30, 2018 Baller Share Posted November 30, 2018 I store my skis at my garage, air is dry, at room temperature. I spend a lot of my free time there too. If you are storing skis for months, I suggest to take the bindings off. Water is trapped in the foam between the plates and the top of the ski and stays there.
