Make Your Own Ski Rack

It seems like only yesterday that I discussed the proper way to store your skis for the summer. However, if you are looking for a nice summer project that gives you the chance to bring the skis out for a little bit then check out the slotted ski rack I made. It's very similar to the racks you most often see in the rental areas - the kind where you just slide the skis in and they hang by the ski shovels.

After a few different approaches, and a tweak here and there, I finally came up with a very affordable wooden ski rack that can be made to hold just about as many pair of skis as you can come up with. So get your ruler, a drill, a saw, follow these simple directions, and in a few hours you’ll be so proud of yourself you’ll want to buy a new pair of skis (hint – this is really a great excuse to fill the new ski rack!)

On second thought, wait until next week to buy those skis and I'll tell you about Christmas in July.
