I don't have to do it with my skis since they fit into my closet and under my bed. My surfboards however are impossible to store hidden away, so I display them. One in my room and one in my livingroom.
damn why do people have so much skis, i can bearly afford any, i keep my skis from 3 years ago in my room and my rentals right beside along with all my other ski equipement...
I keep mine infront of my bed so I can see them everytime before bed and when I wake up! Can't wait for it to snow but that's still acouple months away.
