The family XC and downhill skis are stored vertically along the garage
wall betwixt pairs of dowels driven into a 2x4 that's lagged to the
concrete wall. They stand on and on the inside of an "L" shaped toe
board screwed to the floor. The toe board keeps people's feet and other
things that roll around the floor from knocking into the skis. Poles
hand on the dowels. A bungee cord drawn across the width of the rack
keeps everything tight to the wall.

The snowboards hang suspended from the ceiling joists via bungees.

Easy in, easy out. Cheap and ugly. Just perfect for the garage.

Exactly what I'm after and pretty close to what I went with last night
except I more or less hung the skis between close-together pairs of
dowels and held all in place with a bungy cord. No toe board as the
ski lengths are all over the place with the kids' skis. Skis hang up
off of the floor and out of the way against the wall- quick and dirty
but effective, took longer to clear out a spot than it did to throw
together.

Still looking for a snowboard solution as I am out of wall and ceiling
space but I can probably live with leaning them into a corner and
moving them when required...

Thanks for the help.
