I have a lot of ski and snowboard gear. There’s no other way to call the collection of equipment, both current and sentimental, that has assembled over 30 years of skiing and snowboarding. To the extent that while remodeling my condo in Vail, one of the primary considerations of building new storage in a closet was how to store boards.
So when I stumbled across the Rocker Ski (& Snowboard) Rack, I immediately knew it was something I needed. My balcony has a perfect spot, mostly shaded from the sun, where the triple rack fits, and with a choice of a few pre-drilled mounting holes, installation was a breeze.
Rocker Racks can hold any ski or snowboard, regardless of length, width, camber, and shape, and do it with a simple and intuitive gravity-fed clamp. Unlike many other systems, these clamps can be used individually and don’t require skis to be paired together – making it perfect for snowboards, splitboards, and even wake surf boards, skateboards, and pretty much any other board.
The combination of gravity-engineered hold and soft rubber grip means that any equipment you slide in stays put. To hang a board or skis, slide them slightly upward as you push the board into the rack, and then let it drop to engage the grip. To remove, lift up, releasing the grip, and your board will slide right out. It’s simple, smooth, and the perfect way to store your gear.
You can order the racks online individually to mount anywhere you want, or already attached to a wood frame. Or, if you’re looking for that custom touch, Rocker Racks, based in Ashland, Oregon, will custom build just about anything you can imagine.
