Store skis upright on a wall mount and snowboards flat against the wall on padded clips, somewhere dry. It keeps edges off the floor, frees up the garage and puts your gear where you can grab it on trip day.

That is the short answer. The longer one starts with the corner. Skis leaned in a corner slide and fall, and a board on the floor takes up space you could use for something else. On the wall, edges and bindings stay up and clear of the floor, and the garage gets its floor space back. Below: how to mount skis, how to hang a snowboard, and what real setups from HIDEit customers look like.

Packing for the mountain starts at the wall

Trip day goes faster when the gear is already in one place. Skis on the wall mount, poles with the skis, board on its clips. Loading the car is a grab, not a search.

The wall also keeps the season simple. Gear comes down for the trip and goes back up when you are home, and the garage floor stays clear in between. The HIDEit VSki and HIDEit HBoard are built for that routine: one holds a pair of skis and their poles, the other holds one snowboard.

Skis: store them vertically

Upright takes the least floor and wall space, which is how the HIDEit VSki Vertical Ski Wall Mount holds a pair of skis. One mount holds one pair, with a rubber-coated steel bar that protects the skis from scratches. It holds the poles too, and it fits adult and youth skis.

The VSki is heavy-gauge steel with a powder-coated backplate. Drywall screws and anchors are included, and stud mounting is optional. Skiing with family or a partner? Mount one VSki per pair and line them up along the wall.

Snowboards: hang them flat

A snowboard hung flat sits close to the wall and shows its graphics. The HIDEit HBoard Horizontal Snowboard Mount Clips work in pairs: one pair of clips holds one board, mounted flush to the wall. The clips are 12-gauge steel with a rubber dip that helps protect the edges and the board. The screws are countersunk, so the heads sit flush, and an angled lip on each clip makes it easier to set the board in and lift it out.

Drywall screws and anchors are included, and the anchors are rated for 25 lbs each. Stud mounting is optional. One pair of clips holds one board, so add a pair for every board you want on the wall.

Skis go upright on a wall mount, snowboards go flat on clips, and both go somewhere dry. One HIDEit VSki holds one pair of skis and their poles. One pair of HIDEit HBoard clips holds one snowboard.
