ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for storing multiple pairs of skis in bottom-to-bottom facing arrangement and in a generally upright orientation, with the skis contacting one another at forward and rearward contact zones, includes a generally upright support on which individually adjustable sets of upper and lower clamping assemblies are positioned. Both the upper clamping assembly and the lower clamping assembly of each set are operable to apply a releasable clamping force against the top surfaces of the associated pair of skis. At least one of the clamping assemblies is movable toward and away from the other one, whereby the clamping forces may be applied at spaced locations relative to the forward and rearward contact zones so as to restrain warping of the stored pair of skis. The support is rotatably mounted on a dish-like receptacle for melted snow. The clamping assemblies include cylindrical pressure members spaced to define a slot for receiving the skis along their edges, with the slot gap being adjustable through an eccentric mounting of the pressure members.
